Overview

Nazrul Smriti Sangsad (NSS) is a social development organization established in 1977, named after Nazrul Islam, a progressive student leader of Barisal B.M. College and a journalist of the Daily Ittefaq. Nazrul Islam dedicated his life to fighting poverty and striving for a society based on equality and justice. Inspired by his vision, a group of young, sincere, and committed individuals has started development interventions in 2000 and NSS has been implementing various development interventions aimed at improving the lives of disadvantaged and climate-vulnerable rural communities, with special attention to women, youth, adolescents, excluded groups, and the most vulnerable children.
