Seven Sisters Development Assistance (SeSTA) is an evolving development organization in North East India.

The idea of SeSTA was conceived in the year 2011 to catalyse the development activities in North East India through the process of “Nirman” (constructive development) by working for an improved livelihood system and better well-being status of rural communities of the North Eastern States of India.

SeSTA’s intervention in the rural pockets of selected communities and villages help with the idea of transforming their social, economic and political agency by collectivizing women as their central point of intervention. Eventually, by mobilizing these rural women and their community institutions, they are capacitated in various scientific and improved methods of livelihood practices, climate change resilience, gender inclusiveness and equality, and linkages to welfare and entitlements which will scour them to live a dignified life. It endeavors to be a catalyst for economic development so that they can transpire from the vicious cycle of contested identity crisis and poverty, and are able to meaningfully participate in the rural economy and beyond.
