  • Since

    1993

Sarvangin Vikas Samiti, established on October 2nd, 1993, by a group of educated, enthusiastic, and like-minded youth, is deeply rooted in the princip Read moreles of Gandhian rural development. The primary aim of this organization is to promote social justice, integration, inclusivity, unity, equality, and comprehensive societal development, particularly in rural areas. Their journey began in the villages of Sheikhpura and Lakhisarai districts, where they actively addressed various social issues. As they delved into their work, the group realized that focusing solely on specific issues limited their impact. Thus, the idea of forming a broader organization for holistic development emerged during a general meeting. Sarvangin Vikas Samiti was officially registered on June 28, 1993, under the Societies Registration Act XXI of 1860 by the Inspector General of Registration, Bihar Patna. Following the division of Bihar, the organization was also registered in Jharkhand under the same act. Throughout its journey, the organization has engaged individuals from diverse fields, all committed to addressing social development issues. Their work spans primary education, community health, skill development, water and sanitation, natural resource conservation, livelihood enhancement, innovative farming, and renewable energy. With the support of various departments and agencies, Sarvangin Vikas Samiti has built a robust network of professionals and experts, totalling 109 individuals, and established adequate infrastructure in 15 districts of Bihar and 5 districts of Jharkhand. Their dedication to transparency and accountability drives their efforts to uplift the impoverished, needy, and marginalized segments of society, ultimately working towards comprehensive grassroots development.
