ABOUT US
Oxfam is marking its 64th year in India this year. In 1951, Oxfam Great Britain, came to India during the Bihar famine to launch its full scale humanitarian response in a developing country. Over the past 64 years, Oxfam has supported civil society organisations across the length and breadth of the country. In 2008, all Oxfams working in India came together to form Oxfam India, a fully independent Indian organisation (with Indian staff and an Indian Board), which is a member of a global confederation of 17 Oxfams.
