Abstract: This report is the outcome of a study of Society for Integrated Development of Himalayas (SIDH), a social change organisation working in the Jaunpur block of the Tehri Garhwal district in Uttar Pradesh. This is sequel to an earlier study carried out in 1992 which documented the emergence of SIDH. The earlier report traced the genesis of SIDH, its objectives and activities at a nascent stage. The present study reports the grwoth and coming of age of SIDH which now has a clear mission, focus, and a set of values. These help the organisation make conscious choices about the activities it wants to undertake because these are consistent with its mission, and the ones it does not want to undertake because they are incongruent with either SIDH’s mission or values. The report documents the variety of projects and activities being run by SIDH and the resultant impact it is making through awareness-building. In its effort to usher in attitudinal and social change, SIDH also comes across as an organisation committed to constant self-reflection and internal change.
