Area
of Operation
The work of JAGRAN is focussed on the lives of the less fortunate
spread over 103 villages in the seven development blocks i.e. Girva,
Sarada, Salumber, Dhariyawad, Jhadol and Gogunda of Udaipur district
and Aspur block of Dungerpur District with a population of about
2.4 million people. The whole area is mainly inhabited by the tribes;
Bhills, Meenas, and Gerasias.
Despite the economical and medical progress, most of the marginal
communities in India are still restricted from public health care.
JAGRAN has provided traditional health care in the district of Udaipur
in Rajasthan and more activities are extended to Alwar, Banswara,
Dungarpur, Jodhpur, Bikaner, Jaisalmer, Barmer and Jaipur districts.
Trainings and promotion of traditional health products and services
are also done in other States of India like Himachal Pradesh, Haryana,
Chhatisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Uttranchal and Gujarat.
Programme Areas
The activities of JAGRAN are all in the light of integrated rural
development. From the beginning, JAGRAN has been fully committed
to improve the lives of the less fortunate of society and to encourage
and help them creating sustainable livelihood opportunities. Depending
on the initiatives from the tribal communities and the local needs,
we implement small rural development projects, ranging from drought
relief, traditional health care to education. During the years JAGRAN
has invested in rural infrastructures, environmental development
activities and capacity enhancement programs. True to its name,
Jagran Jan Vikas Samiti (“awakening” in the local language)
is dedicated to public awareness and self-development through cooperative
efforts.
