Who We Are

Bihar Seva Samiti is a community-based organisation founded in 1971. Inspired by the philanthropic ideologies of Mahatma Gandhi and Jai Prakash Narayan, BSS strives to bring about progressive and constructive changes in the lives of the poorest and most deprived members of rural communities. The organisation bases its efforts on the principles of non-violence, egalitarianism, participatory democracy and internal self-reliance. Commitment to social justice, a rights-based approach and equal and equitable economic development make BSS a pioneer in the voluntary sector. It is headquartered at Madhubani and has four field offices across Bihar. BSS projects are supported by UN agencies and national and international funders.
