Welcome To RDRS Union Federation

A Union Federation is a development-oriented non-political local organization established and led by the landless, small and marginal farmers, poor, extreme poor and the disadvantaged people including the indigenous people living in the respective union. RDRS believes that empowering the rural poor is a prerequisite of sustainable improvement to their lives and livelihoods of the rural poor. Mobilizing those masses and channeling their energies requires the emergence of effective civil grassroots organizations which represent and act with, by and for their interests. The aim is to ensure the rural poor in northern Bangladesh can exercise their rights and enjoy the full benefits of citizenship. This requires challenging exclusion, discrimination and exploitation, in particular against the landless, women, char dwellers and indigenous peoples and effective community organization and empowerment as the vehicle by which these are achieved.
