District-Level Consultation Workshop on Community-led Child Protection24 Jan 2024
Chetna Vikas Organized a Series of Workshops on Child Protection Across Deoghar DistrictA warm Greetings!
In 1997, I embarked on studying the journey of Chetna Vikas, followed by an in-depth exploration of our field areas.
Recognizing the need: I felt the necessity to work with the tribal communities of the Santal Pargana region.
The objective behind the integrated development approach of Chetna
Vikas was to reduce migration among these communities, enable them
to benefit from the produce of their own land, ensure children's health
and education within a community environment, and focus attention on
women's empowerment.
Chetna Vikas refined its strategy through collaborative efforts with the
community. I also contributed to shaping this strategy, gaining valuable
experience in addressing critical issues such as sanitation, livelihoods,
and child protection. The issue of child protection, in particular, emerged
as a result of the combined efforts of stakeholders at not only the child
and community levels but also the district and state levels.
The vision and mission of Chetna Vikas are profoundly influenced by the
dedication of our team members. Establishing a strong presence at the
community level, participating in their initiatives, and striving to
empower them have become the backbone of our organization. These
efforts play a crucial role in grounding our mission at the grassroots
level.
Thank you for your continuous support and interest in Chetna Vikas.
Warm regards,
Rani Kumari
