About Our Parent Organisation
Manbhum Ananda Ashram Nityananda Trust (MANT) is a non-profit, non-racial, non-political, non-religious organisation that since 1960 has been working in the development, research, and advancing community action for the preservation of local ecology, health and culture. We primarily work in the Eastern and Northeastern parts of India and have a team of 161 trained workers and 12 volunteers. Every year we have been touching the lives of more than 1 million people, mostly tribal people, through our different activities.

MANT set up a Research Wing in the year 2017 as it was felt that regular monitoring and evaluation should be conducted to know the effectiveness/outcomes of the programmes which have been implemented by us. In November 2022, the research wing was renamed as Centre for Public Health Research. Centre is recognised as a Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (SIRO) by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research (DSIR), Government of India.
