Inclusion Programme
Connect All India – a network for social and financial inclusion is a project initiated in 2010 by Don Bosco Research Centre, Matunga. The journey of Connect All began with the understanding of the poorer sections who lacked legal identity documents like ration card, pan card, caste certificate etc, which limited their access to government schemes for subsidized food, education, health and housing. On further reflection Connect All India has broaden its perspective on networking, collaboration, capacity building and a holistic understanding of social and financial inclusion. Connect All India networks with developmental organizations, corporate bodies, government, private agencies and other likeminded groups and institutions to bring about inclusion. Connect All India determines to play an instrumental role in facilitating the dialogue between different stake holders in the society and helping them connect for inclusive growth of the marginalized communities. Connect All India being a part of the research centre is explorative in nature and believes in sustainable models for growth. Connect All India has its projects based both in the Urban and Rural areas, connecting to break the cycle of poverty and encouraging savings for Inclusion. At the Connect All India Head office (Don Bosco Research Centre Matunga, Mumbai) the team facilitates the process of inclusion through networks and direct interventions. We have research oriented interventions on field, where we create and innovate inclusionary strategies and facilitate the same while we collaborate or network with other organizations. We have our interventions on field in the areas of health, education, income generation, financial literacy, identity documents, government schemes, capital building, capacity building and other innovative interventions for the process of social and financial inclusion. We negotiate with our actors at the public and private level for brining inclusive growth.
