Nava Jeevan Trust

Nava Jeevan Trust is a Non Governmental Voluntary Organization founded in 1985.A group of social activists working for a longtime in the field of social action felt the need for a structure to carryout different conscientisation programme with the ruralpoor for their development and hence this organization.

Nava Jeevan Trust envisages a just society in which women, children and the marginalized have rights over their own lives. The primary reason for the situation lies in the accumulation of wealth by a group of people in power that controls all socio - economic and political arrangements. Also we believe that empowerment of women and children at different levels and sensitization of the civil society are important strategies to change this situation and more towards its cherished vision.

Since its inception Nava Jeevan Trust has been working for the liberation of the under privileged and deprived sections of the society through different

sensitization programmes. We also could realize the strength and relevance of collaborating with the Departments of Sociology, History, Communication, Youth Welfare and NSS of the M. S. University, the National Child Labour Project of Govt. of India and the like minded NGOs in implementing the programme on protection of women's rights and child rights. Also we work in close collaboration with the National Program for Common School System, Campaign Against Child Trafficking and Campaign on Disarmament to Combat Poverty.
