Message from the Executive Secretary
"Over the past 42 years, Jagruti has walked hand in hand with the people of Kandhamal, Koraput, and Kalahandi — regions rich in culture and resilience, yet often shadowed by poverty, exclusion, and marginalization. Our journey began with a simple belief — that every person, regardless of caste, tribe, or gender, deserves dignity, opportunity, and a voice in shaping their own future. Through changing times and emerging challenges, we continued to stand alongside Tribal, Dalit, women, and children, nurturing pathways of empowerment through education, livelihoods, health, and rights- based interventions. Our work this year deepened community participation, strengthened local governance, and built bridges between traditional knowledge and modern opportunities."
