Establishment of Soochna Dhabas and its functioning@JEEVIKA Umariya

Ojective:

The initiative is to establish resource based Rural information Centers with all the facilities.

Organizing many programs at Soochna Dhaabas in order to create awareness amongst the villagers.

At Every Soochna Dhaabas our efforts are to promote SHG and local institution based collective & self-sustaining operations.

There are 10 Soochna dhabas have been established so far at the villages of project area. This philosophy is based on experiences of tribal Indian which could never grow in Rural India due to lack of proper infrastructure of Roads, Hotels, Power, transportation and communication. Soochna Kendra (Dhaabas), are complete solution in this regard. This is where Jeevika initiative differs from any other rural initiative.

The growth is always dependent on the direction an organization takes and this requires partnership and associations enabling healthy participatory and progressive attitude. Jeevika with partnerships like Local PRIs, Local leaders, govt bodies, State Bank of India, KVK, Lok Sewa Kendra, NABARD, etc. form an alliance to provide a solution for development and growth of "Soochna Dhabas" at each and every village of the project area.

Jeevika's ambitious plan of establishing Soochna Dhabas to reach out to every individual to village level, establish connectivity to the remotest area makes it unique and attracts education, entertainment, SHGs, NGOs and agri production under one roof. It consists of: Multilingual Knowledge system without barriers. , FM RADIO, News Paper, Magazines, Educational materials and Employment initiatives. These dhabas are self sustaining in nature and effectively serve the purpose of providing a fully equipped modern center in the village.

We are looking forward to turn it towards "soochna Dhabas" cum "Resource Centers" where people can access the facilities their own. It will help the community to own the project and will help to sustain forever.
