Summary
Jeevan Jyoti " People welfare society" is a national level development organisation directly
benefitting over 400 children and 250 women every year, through 38 welfare projects on
education, healthcare, livelihood and women empowerment, in more than 70 remote
villages and slums across 2 states of India.
Education is both the means as well as the end to a better life: the means because it
empowers an individual to earn his/her livelihood and the end because it increases one's
awareness on a range of issues – from healthcare to appropriate social behaviour to
understanding one's rights – and in the process help him/her evolve as a better citizen.
Doubtless, education is the most powerful catalyst for social transformation. But child
education cannot be done in isolation. A child will go to school only if the family, particularly
the mother, is assured of healthcare and empowered. Moreover, when an elder sibling is
relevantly skilled to be employable and begins earning, the journey of empowerment
continues beyond the present generation.
Realizing this, Smile Jeevan Jyoti, beginning in the corridors of education, adopted a lifecycle
approach of development, focusing its interventions on children, their families and the
larger community.
Jeevan Jyoti believes that unless members of the civil society are involved proactively in the
process of development, sustainable change will not happen. Following this model of Civic
Driven Change, Jeevan Jyoti sensitizes and engages the civil society, making it an active
partner in all its welfare initiatives.
Today, 8 million children in India are out of school – surrounded by poverty, illness and
despair; they are fighting a daily battle for their survival. Together, we can bring hope in
their lives. Together, we can bring change and make it last.
Economic empowerment, provide right information and to provide health services as
considered to be essential elements of development programs. Central to all these has been
the question of enlisting community participation, communication and management.
Future Helpage Program for senior citizens
India is today home to 100 million senior citizens. The pity is that today’s rapid urbanization
has overtaken the traditional value-system of our people and shifted their socio-economic
priorities. Sons and daughters and their children find no time for the senior citizens in their
family. The elderly, who have provided their services and support to the society, feel
unloved and neglected at this phase of their lives. Their deteriorating physical strength and
1
2. other geriatric illnesses add to their difficulties. Their often poor financial condition, lack of
affordable health care and the general neglect by society has propelled Jeevan Jyoti to step
in and bring in elder welfare programs and advocate for elder friendly policies in coming
months.
Vision of Jeevan Jyoti
Main vision of Jeevan Jyoti is "smile on every face".
Mission of Jeevan Jyoti
Our mission is to facilitate the deprived and subject for BPL to gain their access
entitlements, which is their right.
