Family Focused Village Development Programme (FFVDP) is a holistic rural development initiative dedicated to empowering vulnerable and marginalized communities, particularly Adivasi (tribal) and Dalit families, across Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, and Tamil Nadu.

The programme uses an integrated approach covering Health & Household Care, Leadership Development, Family & Community Cohesion, Education, Livelihood Enhancement, and Financial Empowerment.
