Astitva Samajvikas Va Sanshodhan Sanstha focuses on empowering marginalised communities and promoting sustainable development in drought-prone regions. Key initiatives include food security programs emphasising soil and water conservation, organic farming, and dry land horticulture, particularly pomegranates. Water conservation efforts, such as well recharging and desilting of check dams and tanks, enhance irrigation, while women’s empowerment programmes address socio-economic and legal rights through SHGs and access to government schemes. The organisation promotes education for girls, provides livelihood restoration during disasters like the 2019 floods and the COVID pandemic, and conducts awareness campaigns on MGNREGA and climate adaptation. Advocacy with policymakers and research on vulnerable communities like Dalits, nomadic tribes, and women underscore its commitment to fostering inclusivity and resilience.
