Sahjeevan, derived from the combination of "Sah" (together) and "Jeevan" (life), stands as a witness to the organisation's mission of fostering symbio Read moretic relationships within communities. Its 30-year journey began in Gujarat's Kachchh region and gradually expanded to include Saurashtra and other parts of the country. At its core, Sahjeevan is dedicated to supporting and empowering independent communities, with a strong emphasis on nurturing grassroots leadership. By incubating various initiatives, the organisation strives to cultivate self-sustaining communities that can thrive and flourish on their own terms.
Programs
-
Programmes for Communities
It offers community-based programmes aimed at improving livelihoods and addressing various concerns within the communities. This involves establishing connections with industry, social sectors, and technical partners to market dairy and crafts products, as well as creating innovative applications for pastoral produce. The organisation also provides valuable information on legal provisions, such as Community Forest Rights and the Biodiversity Act, and offers paralegal and technical training for documenting traditional grazing areas and migration routes, facilitating legal claims for access. Additionally, it collaborates with technical institutions to gain official recognition for the livestock breeding skills of pastoralists.
-
Programmes for Institutions
Sahjeevan understands the significance of institutional integration. Strengthening community-based organisations is crucial for sustained impact. The Centre for Pastoralism's establishment enables nationwide expansion. It supports pastoral communities in driving interventions related to livelihoods, grazing lands, biodiversity, and resource management. Presently, four community-based organizations collaborate in Kachchh and Saurashtra.
-

Sahjeevan actively participates in advocacy efforts, collaborating with Governmental bodies, markets, statutory authorities, and civil society. Its aim is to co-create policies and programmes that promote the welfare of the communities it serves. Through these partnerships, Sahjeevan endeavours to bring about positive change and sustainable development for the benefit of the communities it is engaged with.
