Welcome to National Christian Council

It partners with like minded organisations from the Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, Sikh and Jain communities for rendering true service to the needy in empowering them economically, socially and spiritually.

The current official population of A.P. is a mere 1.34%. This is very far from the truth. This is to position the community for obtaining their due share in the power in various political forums and governance points beginning from the Panchayats, Municipalities and to the level of state legislature houses and also to request for their appropriate share in the state's revenue.
