About

  • Since

    1997

JVS has been working in the direction of social development for years, but it took us quite a long time for it to take the shape of an organisation. D Read moreown through the years, our area in and around Varanasi as well as other geographical areas where VPIMS is active, witnessed this ‘band-aid’ development which could not heal the wounds of exploitation, lopsided development and various discriminations. As a panacea to this age old problems faced by the poorest people, our pioneers developed a vision for a new society based on justice, equity and fullness of life for all. Thus came Jan Vikas Samiti (JVS) into existence and got registered as a social service society in 1997. Slowly, the organisation took roots in the city of light-Kashi (Varanasi), shining as a light in the darkness and brining many towards a life in its fullness. Since its inception, people’s organisation became the major thrust of the organisation where we focused on building some ‘social capital’. In 2006, JVS took a giant leap by joining hands with Stiching Liliane Foundation, Netherlands. JVS was made as the strategic partner organization of the SLF in North and North East India, widening its operational area, network and scope over 100 partner organization.
