SEWA Rural

SEWA Rural (Society for Education, Welfare and Action–Rural) is a voluntary development organization involved in health and development activities in rural tribal areas in the Jhagadia block in southern Gujarat since 1980.  The activities were initiated by a group of professionals drawn primarily from the health and education field.  The organization’s work draws inspiration from the ideals and ideas of Swami Vivekananda and Mahatma Gandhi.  

 
Aiming for the overall development of the rural, poor and tribal population Bharuch Dist., the organisation has encompassed various fields including hospital, community-based outreach health care, comprehensive eye care, health training centre, a vocational training institute for rural youth and women development centre for promoting women empowerment. 

SEWA Rural endeavours to reach out and assist the poorest of poor through various health and development programmes based on the community needs and available manpower. While involved in such activities, it also seeks to ensure that the values are preserved and self-development, in true spirit of those involved in the work is achieved simultaneously.  The focus of all programmes has been vulnerable members of family i.e. the women, children & elderly especially belonging to the poor sections of society. In all these activities, an attempt is made to incorporate as well as balance the three basic principles: Social Service, Scientific Approach & Spiritual Outlook
