Jeevika Day Celeberation

It is always said that A Journey of 100 miles starts with 1 step.

We feel privileged to be the part one of the biggest movement involving all the stake hoalders and on this auspicious occasion of completing 2 years it’s better to give a little glimpse on Jeevika and “The Celebration of Jeevika Day”. During these 2 years we all must have often heard a lot about Jeevika with lot of updates through social networking platforms like facebook, blogs etc. But today we will not talk about what we achieved in the project quantitatively but we will share our qualitative achievement and the journey that we took to achieve this much.

At the beginning of the program we started with a slogan:

JEEVIKA is process of change

Let’s bring change together!

Let’s bring change now!

Let’s make Madhya Pradesh My Pradesh with JEEVIKA project!

This project was initiated in 104 villages of 11 blocks of 7 districts of Madhya Pradesh. It covered almost all the parts of Madhya Pradesh, the program worked from formation of SHGs, Farmers Club to managing, coordinating, empowering and linking them to GOs (Government Organizations). Or tackling issues from village level like Job card, Adhar Card to national issues like food security, unemployment etc. But what did jeevika really achieved? It’s a big question; We believe the major achievement of Jeevika is its community. Jeevika is successes full because community has trust on us and they understand that we have come for their betterment.

Jeevika Day Celebration became a national event for Caritas India as community owns this day. It started from success sharing by Caritas India ED, to Community meeting in Indore, to tree plantation in khandwa, to women singing local jeevika song in shehore and many more. But does these ends here, no its just the beginning a very famous dialogue I remember “Picture Abhi Baki hai Mere Dost”. Still lot of things has to be done and this process of change will be continued.
