What we do

Our Initiatives

Scholarships, language preservation, an international summit, a community magazine and year-round sewa — the programs through which NACHA serves the Chhattisgarhi diaspora and homeland.

Flagship Scholarship

Udaan Scholarship

Udaan helps deserving Chhattisgarhi students chase admission into top engineering and medical institutions — covering up to 100% of tuition fees so financial need is never a barrier to a child's dream.

  • Engineering & medical entrance support for students from Chhattisgarh
  • Need-based selection across General, ST/SC, OBC and minority categories
  • Funded by NACHA members, donors and chapter fundraisers
  • Application reviewed by NACHA's scholarship committee

Language & Heritage

Chhattiskosh — Our Language App

Chhattiskosh is likely the first NRI-led digital archive of Chhattisgarhi — an English-to-Chhattisgarhi translator with e-books, poems, grammar lessons and folk-art tutorial videos, all in one app.

  • English ⇄ Chhattisgarhi translation dictionary
  • Chhattisgarhi e-books, kavita and folk literature
  • Grammar tutorials and pronunciation videos
  • Free, ad-supported and built by NACHA volunteers

Publication

NACHA Magazine

A community magazine featuring stories, achievements, recipes, poetry and chapter highlights from Chhattisgarhi families across North America and around the world.

  • Member-contributed essays, art and photography
  • Chapter spotlights and event coverage
  • Profiles of Chhattisgarhi achievers worldwide
  • Distributed digitally to all NACHA members

Charitable Causes

Sewa & Community Care

From disaster relief to women's empowerment to support for NACHA families in need, our sewa initiatives put the association's mission into action across two continents.

  • Disaster and medical relief drives for Chhattisgarh
  • Women's Wing programs and skill-building
  • Support fund for NACHA families during hardship
  • Volunteer-driven, transparent and member-funded

Year-round

Cultural Celebrations

Chapter-led Diwali, Holi, Hareli, Teej and Independence Day celebrations keep Chhattisgarhi culture vibrant — bringing families together across every NACHA chapter.

  • Festivals hosted by each regional chapter
  • Folk music, dance and food showcases
  • Cultural performances by youth and seniors
  • Open to members, families and the wider community
