About Us
In response to the needs of the time, India Mumbai Province of the Society of the Divine Word-SVD set up a registered Public Trust and NGO in 1971, andnamed it ‘Society for Community Development in India’. Urban Community Development Centre (UCDC) was launched as a pilot project of the said Trust, to bring about a salutary intervention in the welfare and economic development of the people of the huge slums existing in and around Bandra, then. UCDC stands tall, for nearly half a century now, as a pioneer of slum development in this suburb. Its mission has always been sustainable improvement in the quality of life and work of the poor and the marginalized, living in the ‘periphery’ of society in and around Bandra. Right from its inception, it has always been at the vanguard of service to the poor.
