The high prevalence of alcoholism in the rural areas of Telangana is a major need behind this establishment. Bringing out the alcoholics and other drug users into clean lines thereby improving the socio economic status of their families is another major focus of this establishment.

It gives immense pleasure for me to see the activities of DOVE. The Organization, which is committed, can deliver the goods effectively to the maximum satisfaction of the beneficiaries. I appreciate the efforts made by DOVE organization in Prevention of Alcoholism and Substance (Drugs) Abuse in Telangana State. I am congratulating the managing committee and hundreds of workers in DOVE organization.
