The ANT continues to work for development of villages in Northeast India. Headquartered in Chirang District of Bodoland in Western Assam, our team reaches out to 900 village hamlets through our current work on education, child protection, women’s empowerment, peace building and mental health. At another level, the ant’s initiative called IDeA (the Institute of Development Action) works with other NGOs all over the Northeast to help them do what they do even better. IDeA has now started an an office in Guwahati and had a full-fledged team doing interesting work.
