}}Church's Auxiliary for Social Action or CASA (founded in 1947) is a non-religious Indian development organisation based in Chennai and a service wing of the National Council of Churches in India comprising the Orthodox and Protestant Church Societies in India. CASA is a member of ACT Alliance[1]

Mar Aprem Mooken writes,[2] {{cquote|Jawaharlal Nehru, the Prime Minister of India at the time of partition, asked the Christian community to assist in the work among the refugees, which the community readily responded through the National Council of Churches in India.}}

Genesis

The partition of India played a virtual havoc with peoples lives which Jawaharlal Nehru,[3] then Prime Minister of India wanted to address and shared it with J. Waskom Pickett and Marshall Russell Reed who involved the National Council of Churches in India (NCCI) to lend a hand in mitigating the suffering of the displaced people for which the NCCI formed an ad hoc Relief Committee. Over the years', the Relief Committee took different names,

  • 1947, Refugee and Famine Relief Committee or Central Relief Committee,[4]
  • 1955, Committee on Relief and Gift Supplies (CORAGS),[5]
  • Christian Agency for Social Action,[6]
  • (present) Church's Auxiliary for Social Action.

Funding

As a development non-religious organisation the activities of CASA are funded through the individuals, the Churches in India, the State, the corporates and a few overseas ecumenical bodies.[3]
