Vision of Success (VOS) of FST
As a development organisation FST has been working within the complex geopolitical, socio-economic environment of the region but at this juncture.

FST is an indigenous philanthropic organization that transforms lives by creating cadres of change agents in marginalized rural and urban communities, establishing a culture of community giving for social justice and building a strong network of grass-root groups in NE India.
