Samarpan

In the year 1996-97 a team of some energetic youths had joined LOK SAMITI, LOK SHAKTI, Jharkhand Jangal Bachao Aandolan, Van Suraksha Samiti, Pragatishil Yuva Kendra, Judav, Abhiyan, Jago Foundation at Giridih and Madhupur and other social movement-Networks. These youths became trained by getting many types of training under Judav and other organizations who were working to aware people from the social and cultural evils. We took part in various development work, revolutionary agitations and developing programs and made prosperous.

Meanwhile, we learned and inspired a lot from the thoughts, attitude and ideas of our seniors. At the same time we found that mica- mines area of Koderma district is full of social evil practices like child labors, child marriages, sexual violations, Gender inequalities, deforestation etc. The situations which we learnt in the area during the mass movement and studies we decided to extent our work in this area and we made strategy and planning for a change among the community of mica and crasser zone area.   However, on the basis of the broadness of work, experiences and learning, we set our goal, Vision, Mission, objectives and policies. All members were in a long run of struggle.. Being some members having poor financial background and it was a herculean task to join the social sector as results they had to face too much problems in this sector. But they remain continuous with their target on the cost of family’s wish.

Samarpan has originated with the same concept. Organization has started its journey from Koderma district; But at present Samarpan’s operational areas are 3 districts of Jharkhand. Tribal, PTG, small & marginal farmers, rural youth, deprived women, and children as well as the artisan have been focused as primary target groups of Samarpan. School and College dropout girls and boys, Victims of child labor and Rural people who are unaware of various aspects as well as schemes for their development have also been given priority as target group of Samarpan.
