Janakidevi Bajaj Gram Vikas Sanstha plays a critical role in empowering underprivileged people by generating sustainable livelihood in the non-farm sector.
Janakidevi Bajaj Gram Vikas Sanstha (JBGVS) plays a critical role in empowering underprivileged people by generating sustainable livelihood in the non-farm sector. It has developed three forms of interventions to accomplish this objective – Individual Enterprise Model, Group Enterprise Model & Skill Development, and Career Progression Model.
Under these models, the livelihood programmes focus on career progression, mentorship support (rural and urban), inclusion, outcome-led designs, and capacity building – pre- and post-employment support.
JBGVS Education programmes aim at the holistic development of children from all walks of life by providing learning platforms for children.
JBGVS aims to bridge the gap between the current and desired education situation through various internal interventions and partnerships with multiple organisations that specialise in dealing with problems that hamper the Indian education scenario today.
The objective of JBGVS programmes includes strengthening local leadership in the villages, empowering women through Self-Help Groups (SHGs), promoting local culture, rural sports, and so on. The purpose of these activities is to enable people, particularly youth and women, to continue the development activities once JBGVS withdraws from the villages. Organising Mahila Melavas (get-togethers of women) to increase interaction amongst women and raise awareness about social issues like dowry, female foeticide, domestic violence, and the menace of environmental degradation are some of the initiatives.
