JUST is the social development organization of the Catholic Diocese of Agartala and has been involved in various development Initiatives in Tripura. It works within the frame work of the vision and mission, namely self-reliance through empowerment, networking with like-minded NGOs, to help build a better society. It also works within the frame work of the Catholic Social Teaching which emphasizes that we work for those on the peripheries of society. This demands a critical engagement of peoples' Institutions with the governance structures at different levels, and JUST is committed to this task.
