What is the Jansahyog Relief Program ?

Sahyog is a selfless act of help or support. When the Sahyog benefits a large number of people (Jan in Hindi), and comes from a large number of people then it is called Jansahyog.

The grave situation in Narmada valley where thousands of families are displaced by the Sardar Sarovar dam without rehabilitation, is also a situation of grit and courage where the injustice has not been silently accepted, but challenged vigorously and non-violently. While the struggle to secure the rehabilitation guaranteed on paper by India’s highest court continues, many adivasi families whose agricultural lands have been submerged, are facing starvation. Many children are malnourished. Their schools have gone under water.

The Jansahyog Relief Project aims to provide food-grains, roofing material for temporary shelters and medical aid to such needy but struggling families by creating a link between those of us in the cities who have running tap water and electricity at the push of a button, with those in submergence villages of the Narmada valley who continue to pay the price for it. It is hoped that this link will bring us closer as people who stand for each other, to forge a path of holistic development that is more humane while addressing the immediate survival problems of the displaced so they can continue their struggle.
