Model center for Learning the ecosystem
MSS has developed a model centers for tribal children, where they learn about resource management, social set-up gender balance and community aspects. The center forms a platform for various educational research and innovations in livelihood.

Bal Panchayat
Right to participation is one of the vital rights of the any human kind. If a child is involved in the day-to-day matter of his/ her environment it helps to develop the overall personality of the children. Therefore MSS takes its imperative to introduce the participation of child in the functioning of PRIs system in our country. From a very early times if the child is aware and participates in the different aspects of the Panchayati Raj Institution, it helps him to develop hios senses on the same. A child’s active involvement will not only help to know the whole process but also help in a better planning of the works in any level. Nevertheless the child’s participation will also help in the strengthening of the PRIs system.
Taking this into consideration, MSS has initiated the formation of BAl Panchayat in the area through which a children groups are being promoted for the formation of a model bal Panchayat.

Linkage of SHGs with cooperatives
MSS has been involved in promotion of income generation with Self-Help Groups and formation of cooperatives and village groups. Four-year back MSS supported the formation of “Bhader Adiwasi Van Upaj and Tendu Patta Sangrahan Sahkari Samiti, ltd. Birothi (Cooperative) whereby the purchase and sale of the locally available MFP could take place in a fair manner.
