NCHSE’s inception was initially as a research, evaluation and training organization. NCHSE has actively carried out a number of monitoring and evaluation studies of developmental projects related to poverty alleviation, housing, rural roads, water supply, sanitation, electrification, urban basic services, public distribution system, watershed development, health services, etc. With the help of a senior research and evaluation team, NCHSE presented the findings of its studies at appropriate levels in the government and the tables of policy makers so that corrective measures could be taken for the betterment of communities. The findings of these studies have helped

1. to point out the drawbacks of policies,
2. to assess impact of development programmes and
3. to suggest corrective action for future to the government.
