To transform the society into a just, loving and sustainable, social order where Gospel values are lived and nurtured.

To restore human dignity of the oppressed, exploited and marginalized people of Darjeeling, Sikkim and Bhutan through a process of empowerment.

The people of the Darjeeling Hills, come together in Samajs or traditional community based organizations, where gaps have arisen between the activities and the present day issues and problems. The development needs and aspirations of Darjeeling have never been properly articulated and addressed. The coming together of the Samajs, create a powerful peoples voice. This will enable the voicing and addressing of the regional marginalization of the Darjeeling.

Anugyalaya DDSSS intervention is built on the experiences and resources of the community and the organisation. All other interventions of Anugyalaya is based on this strategy.

This coming together of the people of Darjeeling in a Samaj is irrespective of the rural or urban background. The history of the Samaj can be traced to the colonial era when a majority of the population migrated into Darjeeling. The activities of the Samajs are focused on social ceremonies and welfare activities. The challenges that the Samaj poses are its: welfare orientation in activities, gender disparity, centralization of power in few executive members who are usually elderly, better-off economically and male.
The strategy looks inwards into the Samaj with participatory planning and adding of developmental activities to the existing Samaj welfare activities. Focused capacity building is provided based on the specific needs of the Samaj. Linkages with financial institutions, market institutions, Panchayati Raj Institutions, Forest Department, Darjeeling Gorkha Hill Council, NGOs and individual is promoted in order to avail of the facilities and capacities for the development of the community. This base experience and capacity will be used to network with neighboring samajs and organizations so that larger community network and mass is formed. This will enable the communities to have a larger voice which in turn is promoted and facilitated to look into issues of constitutional local self governance.
The second phase of the strategy looks into second generation issues of secondary leadership, further decentralization, gender and equity. Once a certain critical mass of samajs are is reached, advocacy as a strategy is undertaken.
