SAMUDRAM was established in 1995 as a network of 15 SHGs from Ganjam and Puri districts. The company was registered as a federation in 1996, and presently functions from the Katuru village in Ganjam district (Orissa, India). The achievements of the company can be attributed to the dedication and expertise of Mrs. B. Chittiama (Advisor) and Mrs. M. Parvati (Secretary). Together, they have managed to create an organization that is the face of social change as well as commercial success. Right now, we are operating in 21 coastal blocks of 6 districts (Ganjam, Puri, Jagatsinghpur, Kendrapada, Bhadrak and Baleshwar) in Orissa.
