Since
1998
Gram Jyoti began its intervention in 1998, inspired by Gandhian principles of rural development and community empowerment. It started with non-formal Read moreeducation centers for drop-out and irregular children in Chandan block of Banka district, Bihar. Over time, the organization gained the trust of the community and expanded its work. In 2001, Gram Jyoti initiated a Livelihood Promotion Program in Mohanpur block, Deoghar district, focusing on water conservation and land development. While this program was successful, the organization realized that addressing only livelihood issues wasn't enough, as health-related expenses were a significant burden on the community. Consequently, they shifted their focus to also work on health, water sanitation, and hygiene, supported by various organizations. Empowering the marginalized and excluded members of the community became a priority for Gram Jyoti, aiming for sustainable development through ensuring rights and responsibilities. They partnered with government departments and agencies within India and abroad to tap into resources. Over time, Gram Jyoti also focused on the development of children, adolescents, and women, working on awareness generation for rural women, condensed education for school dropouts, and providing crèche centers and computer literacy for women in self-help groups. After 16 years of experience in the development sector, Gram Jyoti continues to see itself as a learner and remains open to learning from others for the betterment of the target area's population.
