Project “Empower Her” is a comprehensive empowerment programme implemented in Nagawa Block, Sonbhadra, focusing on women and adolescent girls from marginalised communities.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, JKGSA responded swiftly to address the urgent needs of vulnerable communities. The organisation conducted extensive health awareness campaigns on Covid-19 prevention and safety measures.
JKGSA implements community-based health and nutrition programmes with a strong focus on preventive care. The initiative promotes maternal and child health, nutrition education, menstrual hygiene management for adolescent girls, and awareness on common diseases.
The Peer Leader Initiative Project is being implemented in 10 Gram Panchayats covering 20 villages in Nagawa Block. Through this initiative, 20 Peer Leaders have been identified, trained, and empowered to act as change agents within their communities. These leaders promote awareness on education, health, child protection, gender equality, sanitation, and government welfare schemes. They facilitate community meetings, support vulnerable families, and encourage active participation in local development processes. The project has strengthened community leadership, improved access to information and services, enhanced youth engagement, and fostered positive behavioral changes, contributing to a more informed, inclusive, and self-reliant community.
Under the Mausam Project, farmer meetings were conducted across five Gram Panchayats—Tintali, Hinauta, Mangurahi, Sevkhari, and Babhnauli—in Robertsganj Block. A total of 84 farmers participated in discussions focused on forming strong farmer organizations to address common agricultural challenges. The meetings emphasized the benefits of collective action, including improved market access, reduced agricultural input costs, adoption of modern farming techniques, and better access to government schemes. Special attention was given to ensuring the participation of small and marginal farmers, as well as women farmers. A monthly review and planning meeting was also organized to assess project progress, strengthen organizational development, and plan future activities under the project.

I participated in a volunteer programme with Jan Kalyan Gramodyog Seva Ashram (JKGSA) in Sonbhadra, India, and the experience was deeply meaningful. Working closely with women, children, and elderly community members helped me understand the real challenges and strengths of rural and tribal life. The interactions, shared experiences, and community engagement made me feel connected and enriched in ways I had never experienced before.
I had a truly memorable and enriching experience while volunteering with Jan Kalyan Gramodyog Seva Ashram (JKGSA). I am grateful to the organisation for providing me with this opportunity, as it allowed me to learn far beyond the core project work. Through close interaction with the JKGSA team and community members, I gained a deeper understanding of local culture, social values, and grassroots development challenges.
I had the opportunity to volunteer for four months with Jan Kalyan Gramodyog Seva Ashram (JKGSA), and it was truly a wonderful and enriching experience. Although I initially joined to support women empowerment initiatives, I was able to contribute to several other programmes such as education support for school children, adolescent girls’ activities, livelihood initiatives, and community awareness programmes. This variety made every day meaningful and full of learning.
