For your kind note, Rangdhanu Development Center-RDC is now IMPACT INITIATIVE- IMI. The honorable general board members unanimously agreed to change the previous name by giving the new name IMPACT INITIATIVE-IMI in December 2020. The new name got accreditation from the registration authorities with the same registration code. Feeling the necessity to update our beneficiaries, donors, community volunteers and all our stakeholders in home and abroad, we decided to publish our annual report by the new name IMPACT INITIATIVE- IMI although the content and photographs are full of by the RDC documents as it was done in 2020.
