Some tribes leaders living in Lungbungzang Lakhichera Cachar Assam, Jiribam Manipur and Tamenglong district Manipur came together and decided to establish a development organization to take up various development initiatives by the people. The 28 leaders from Rongmei, Riang, Hmar and Kuki formed People’s Action for Comprehensive Rural Development (PAFCORD) in 05 August 1995 with its head office at Lungbungzang village. Again, on 23rd February 1997, PAFCORD was modified to People’s Endeavour for Social Changes (PESCH) and it was officially registered under Society Registration Act on 03/03/1997. People’s Endeavour for Social Changes (PESCH) is a grassroots non-profit organization registered under the Societies Registration Act of 1860. Our registered office is located at Church Road, Tamenglong Headquarters, Tamenglong district, Manipur, with a liaison office at Kamranga, Jiribam district, Manipur. PESCH works across two states—Assam and Manipur—covering three districts in Manipur (Tamenglong, Noney, and Jiribam) and Cachar district in Assam.

Our organization is deeply committed to strengthening local institutions and implementing development initiatives that address key areas such as livelihoods, nature-based actions and climate change, value-based education, skill development, and disaster response. We operate with full legal compliance, holding certifications including 12A, 80G, TAN, CSR-01, PT, PF, FCRA, and maintaining registration on NGO Darpan. PESCH partners with reputable networks and donors such as GuideStar India, India Partner Network, North East Together, National NGO Club, United NGO Mission Manipur, Bread for the World, Azim Premji Foundation, SeSTA, and Mariwala Health Initiatives.
