Voluntary Health Association of Tripura (VHAT)

The Voluntary Health Association of Tripura (VHAT) was established in 1988 by a dedicated group of health and science activists. Their vision was to create a robust state-level network of NGOs and community-based organizations (CBOs) committed to enhancing the health, elementary education, and environmental standards in Tripura.
From its inception, VHAT has focused on policy advocacy and conceptual interventions, aiming to build capacity and drive systemic change in these crucial areas. Recognizing the importance of formal structure, VHAT registered under the Societies Registration Act of 1860 on December 12, 1988. A significant catalyst in the formation of VHAT was the Voluntary Health Association of India (VHAI) based in New Delhi. VHAI's support and inspiration were instrumental in establishing VHAT as the state federation of the Voluntary Health Association of India in Tripura. VHAT has been empowered to leverage broader state strategies and insights to address local challenges effectively.
By working collaboratively with a wide range of stakeholders, VHAT continues to champion the causes of health, education, and environmental sustainability, striving to make a lasting impact on the well-being of Tripura's community.
