About Us

We are seeking to link families in cities to the Narmada valley adivasi  families through this Jansahyog site.  The relief and solidarity generated through this program will help the adivasi people (first inhabitants or  indigenous people) cope with displacement by the Sardar Sarovar dam and  continue their struggle to secure proper rehabilitation.

The Bombay Sarvodaya Friendship Centre (BSFC), a Gandhian organization inspired by Vinoba,  and the Narmada Navnirman Abhiyan (NNA) are two non-profit organizations in India implementing the Jansahyog relief program  in the Narmada valley.  They disburse food grains to needy families most  affected by submergence, provide sheets for temporary shelters, and medical  care and other help as needed.

Association for India's Development (AID) founded in 1991 is a grass-roots  organization with 500 volunteers in about 40+ cities of the USA and supports  about a 100 projects every year in most states of India in the areas of  alternate energy, education, health, sustainable agriculture, empowerment, women's issues, malnutrition, relief, communal harmony, human rights and integrated rural development.  AID is a 501(c)(3) non-profit and it  supports the Jansahyog Relief Project of BSFC.

NOTE:  AID supports the BSFC financially for its Jansahyog Relief efforts  in Narmada valley, watershed programs in Mozda and surrounding villages,  and alternate energy work such as the Bilgaon Micro-hydro  project.     However no financial support from AID goes to NNA or  NBA.  Only Indian citizens can contribute to NBA and NNA and we encourage  them to contact these organizations directly. 

Any individual FROM ANY COUNTRY can make a directed donation to AID for the Jansahyog Relief in the Narmada Valley implemented by BSFC. Please click here to donate.
