SRIJAN

SRIJAN was founded in 1997 by Ved Arya to make a difference in the lives of the rural poor through direct action. An opportunity to meet and observe the Gandhian way of life of Baba Amte and his wife Sadhna Amte, convinced Ved that educated professionals are needed to uplift rural communities with self-sustaining livelihood opportunities... By 2016, SRIJAN shaped up projects to support implementation of livelihood programs and by 2018, started externally aided projects in Assam, Telangana, Maharashtra through support from various multilateral and government institutions including National Rural Livelihood Mission in Telangana and Maharashtra. During this phase, SRIJAN's focus was primarily on the collaborative works in multiple parts of the country with government as well as non-governmental organisations. SRIJAN initiated two forums- Bundelkhand Sustainable Development Forum (BSDF) and Women's Federation of India and is part of a regional forum called Madhya Pradesh-Sustainable..
