Who We Are

Founded on 1st November 2023, Public Rights Association Odisha (PRA Odisha) is a registered non-profit trust based in Bhubaneswar, Odisha. We are committed to the protection of public rights of Indian citizens and the upliftment of the downtrodden, socially backward, and victims of social harassment.

Our trust operates from our registered office at Plot No: 611/12(A), Hata Sahi, Old Town Shree Lingaraj, Bhubaneswar, under the jurisdiction of the Registering Office, Bhubaneswar. We work tirelessly to restore a harmonious society by addressing critical social issues including child labour, bonded labour, beggary, HIV/AIDS awareness, and human rights violations.
Driven by a deep-seated commitment to social justice, we strive to create an equitable and inclusive society where every individual, regardless of caste, creed, race, or sex, has access to their fundamental rights and opportunities for a dignified life.

Community Focus

We prioritize the needs of underprivileged and marginalized communities throughout Odisha, ensuring their voices are heard and their rights are protected. Our grassroots approach involves direct engagement with socially backward groups, victims of social harassment, and economically disadvantaged families. We work to identify their specific needs and provide targeted support, legal assistance, and advocacy to uplift them from cycles of poverty and social exclusion.

Awareness Advocacy

Through education, outreach programs, and community engagement, we strive to raise awareness about social justice, human rights, and public rights issues. Our awareness initiatives cover critical topics including HIV/AIDS prevention, prevention of child labour and bonded labour, eradication of beggary, women's rights, and child protection. We organize seminars, workshops, and counselling sessions to empower communities with knowledge about their rights and available government welfare schemes.
