IEC – Information, Education & Communication

Daang Vikas Sansthan (DVS) recognizes the power of information and awareness in bringing sustainable change within communities. Through its IEC initiatives, DVS focuses on educating individuals, strengthening capacities, and promoting informed decision-making among marginalized populations.

IEC is an essential tool used by DVS to communicate critical messages related to health, livelihoods, labour rights, education, and social welfare in a simple, accessible, and impactful manner.
