IDCA aims to help eradicate poverty, by improving and promoting education, healthcare, livelihoods, social harmony, environmental protection, and renewable energy to mitigate climate change in India. We promote networking, collaboration, learning, giving, and volunteering both in US and India to support our member and partner organizations so as to help eradicate poverty. Recently, in May we organized our Second South Regional Conference in Houston, and in April , we organized First Midwest University Student Conference at DePaul University, Chicago to connect students who have visited India recently and are interested to learn and support sustainable development in India to eradicate Poverty.
