Ajagar Social Circle

Ajagar Social Circle (ASC) is an initiative launched by eight like-minded young practitioners with a shared vision to drive socio-economic change, support low-income communities, and expand livelihood opportunities in the northeastern region of India. Currently, ASC is engaged in a range of well-defined activities that collectively aim to ensure social and economic security for farming, allied, and non-farming communities in the Assam– Meghalaya belt.
