Registered under the Societies Registration Act of 1860 in 1989-1990, North East Diocesan Social Service Society– empowering and enabling local communities for an inclusive development (NEDSSS) is an organization that operates in 15 Diocese of Northeast India. The untiring effort and commitment of Fr. Sebastian Ousepparampil, a dreamer and a visionary – the founding father of Social Forum, awakened the Bishops of Northeast with his amazing skill. His incredible ability, convinced them to come into consensus leading to its birth in 1989. Late Archbishop Hubert D’Rosario of Shillong Diocese, supported this noble idea wholeheartedly. Fr. Remigius, the then Director of Caritas India (Bishop of Kottar)provided all the necessary support and guidance towards building up Forum in NortheastIndia. Caritas India like an animator enabled Forum to take steps forward and supported it with both human and financial resources. Today NEDSSS has played an important role in the field of capacity building, resource mobilization in the region.
