NONGOR started its journey as a volunteer organization and now turned into a potential rights and advocacy platform for the poor, marginalized, ethnic and socially excluded people. It is also incorporating civil society and other social elements to work together in the battle against poverty. NONGOR is always trying to perceive development from a rights view point and continue questioning any development philosophies or approached within the light of ethnic, diversity, culture, practice and values of Bangladesh.
