Welcome to Co-operation for Rural Excellence (CORE)
Empowering Communities, Transforming Lives
At CORE, we believe in the power of collective action and sustainable development. Since our inception in the 1980s, we have been on a mission to serve the poorest of the poor in the state of Odisha. Our journey began with a group of energetic youths from the National Service Scheme (NSS) background, and today, we stand as a beacon of hope and positive change.
