Comments on the CIS Programme
Words are inadequate in appreciation of the hard work and commitment of the Social Organisers of IRSP for their effective interaction with the community and the leadership of IRSP (specifically Mr. Abid Ullah Jan, Executive Director) for the success of the project thus far. The wealth of data speaks for themselves. IRSP will be proud in the final analysis to have worked on process of empowering communities to take hold of their destiny and future. We hope for a model to be emulated in the rest of the province.
