Consistent with its values and as a natural progression, SEVA focuses on the conduct of evidence based social research working closely with service providers and educational institutions with a view to providing policy inputs to all levels of government and service providers. Overtime, SEVA will build a reliable and sound body of knowledge and understanding about the South Asian communities; a data base for the social and cultural understanding of the South Asian communities within Australia and outside.
