Nafisa Bharot - Empowering Local Communities

Utthan, a registered non-profit organization, has been working in four water stressed and resource poor districts in Gujarat for the past twenty years. Founded in 1981 by four professional women inspired by Professor Ravi Mathai's famous "Jawaja" experiments in Rajasthan, interventions were directed at initiating sustainable processes of empowerment among the vulnerable communities to struggle for their basic rights.

Utthan envisions a society that imbibes and ensures the values of gender justice, equality, peace and happiness, in practice. Utthan brings together a group of professional development workers, committed to working with communities towards an India free of inequalities and discrimination with equal opportunities, security and freedom for all. Utthan's effort to translate this vision into reality is focused on its mission to serve those most vulnerable such as Women, Adivasi communities, Dalits, Minorities and the Poor. Utthan envisages influencing the larger socio-political environment that should enable the desired change.
