About

  • Since

    1992

Established in 1992, Abhivruddi's mission is to promote the well-being of children, women, and the environment across several districts including Tumk Read moreur, Hassan, Bellary, Bagalkot, Chitradurga, and both rural and urban areas within the Bangalore Metro corporation. It was founded by a team of social work professionals with expertise in Community Development, arising during a period of significant challenges for women in social and economic realms. Abhivruddi, acknowledging this context, focused on empowering women and children and managing natural resources, crucial for communities heavily involved in agriculture. Its approach involves a comprehensive strategy aimed at empowering women socially, economically, and politically, while also advocating for child rights protection and sustainable management of natural resources to enhance rural livelihoods. The ultimate aim is to create a society where women lead dignified lives, children enjoy their rights, especially education, and all living beings have access to resources for sustenance. This is realized through advocacy for sustainable rural development, utilizing local resources and promoting the active involvement of community-based organisations.

  • Environment, Resources and Sustainable Development

    Sustainable agricultural practices were introduced through the demonstration of organic farming within operational villages. Model plots showcasing these practices were established in selected villages, facilitated by the support of governmental and other partnering institutions.
    Notably, the National Watershed Program (OPAP) and the World Bank-funded Sujala Watershed Project were executed across 101 villages in GUBBI taluk, Tumkur district, covering a land area of 15,153 hectares. The project encompassed various soil and water conservation initiatives such as earthen/boulder bunding, boulder checks, rubble checks, waste weirs, nala bunds, check dams, rooftop rainwater harvesting, and similar efforts. Additionally, plans were implemented to promote forestry, horticulture, livestock, and income-generating activities specifically aimed at improving the livelihoods of landless and marginal families within these villages.

  • Networking in Federations

    Currently, Abhivruddi serves as the State Convener for Campaign Against Child Labour - Karnataka (CACL-K). This role involves leading an influential platform dedicated to campaigning and advocating for the complete eradication of child labour across various sectors.

  • Awareness on Children's Rights

    On August 3rd, 2021, the organisation initiated a program aimed at promoting awareness of children's rights. The primary objective was to educate the community about the available support systems for children in need. Specifically, the program targeted children, mothers, and educators at the Siddganga Mutt grounds in Tumkur, aiming to prevent child abuse and child marriages. The organisation was able to reach out to 60 mothers, 30 teachers, and 20 children. This initiative proved to be immensely successful.

  • Rescue and Rehabilitation of Children

    Over 3000 working children have been identified and successfully reintegrated into mainstream schools. Presently, 150 formerly working children are enrolled in bridge schools, tent schools, and day care centres, receiving financial support from both the government and European donor agencies.
    To cater to the needs of released working children, four evening schools operate in Jamakandi Taluk, Bagalkot.
