Narendra Kumar Das

Narendra Kumar Das has been associated with Chaupal for over 20 years, beginning his journey with the organisation as a community mobiliser. Over the years, he has played a significant role in strengthening community institutions and supporting Adivasi communities in northern Chhattisgarh. Coming from the same social context as the communities Chaupal works with, Narendra has been closely involved in grassroots mobilization, community awareness, and programme implementation across several initiatives. He has worked on a range of issues including strengthening gram sabhas, improving access to government entitlements, and supporting community-led development processes. His long-standing experience, community connect, and commitment to grassroots leadership recently led to his appointment to Chaupal’s Board, reflecting the organisation’s belief in nurturing leadership from within the communities it serves.
