About Us

Vikas Yojana Social Service Society

We aim to create an inclusive society where marginalized communities have access to all the resources, like education, livelihood opportunities, so that holistic development takes place.

Vikas Yojana Social Service Society (VYSSS) is a registered voluntary organization. It is a secular voluntary organization supported and sponsored by the CMI Fathers of St. Joseph’s Province, Kottayam.
VYSSS began functioning in 1981 with its headquarters in Puthupally, Kottayam. A branch office was started at Ponneruthanparappu, Idukki district, in 1989 for easy access and successful implementation of its various developmental activities in the high ranges. The target area of VYSSS covers Kattapana, Kanchiyar, Ayyappancoil and Upputhara Panchayath. The society is governed by an executive council consisting of 9 members, all of whom are eminent people from different walks of life.
