Organization Description:

The Village Reconstruction Organization (VRO) is a community-based NGO that helps alleviate poverty and social exclusion by rebuilding villages and supporting marginalized communities. Over more than five decades, VRO has reconstructed hundreds of villages and thousands of houses for Dalits, tribals, and fisher families across Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Odisha, and Tamil Nadu. Its work spans shelter, child education and rights, women’s empowerment, community health, and ecological restoration.

Role in Indian Shrimp Aquaculture: VRO's deep grassroots presence among fishers, Dalits, and tribal communities, and its focus on housing, women's empowerment, and children, make it a strong local partner for initiatives on worker welfare, access to entitlements, and alternative livelihoods.
