Nav Ankur Manav Kalyan Sanstha

Nav Ankur Manav Kalyan Sanstha, Ashta has been working in and around Ashta since October 1972. Our focus had been to answer the needs of the most vuln Read moreerable groups (SC, ST, women and children). In the beginning our members were involved in non-formal education, housing, agricultural development, M.C.H. Programme, embroidery and needlework classes for the young girls, and mobile clinic etc. Slowly the concept of social work changed. Slowly Social work strategies were changed. The need-based social work was changed into right-based social work. Slowly the Advocacy gained importance in our work. For eight years, we were engaged in working for the strengthening of the Panchayat Raj Institution with a special attention to the women representatives in 25 Panchayats. Later we got engaged in Animation for action, watershed, adolescents' health, human rights, Rehabilitation of the displaced people, livelihood and food security, and land right for the forest dwellers. Now our gear is on right based approach in the Panchayats- “Gender Equality and Human Development Through Right Based perspective in Ashta Block of Sehore District, Madhya Pradesh” We have very good net working with other NGOs and GOs.
