For over a decade, community development efforts have been making a difference in the tribal regions of Gumla Nagar and its neighbouring villages—Pupunki, Satanpur, and Kasmar. Since 2009, these initiatives have focused on strengthening access to education and empowering local communities.
A key milestone in this journey came in 2013 with the construction of a safe and durable community centre. Replacing a fragile bamboo structure, the new building has since served as a vital hub for learning, gatherings, and community-led activities.
Working in partnership with Sarwangin Vikas Samiti (SVS), the programme has consistently supported educational opportunities for children while also promoting women’s empowerment through various initiatives.
After a temporary pause, the project has now been successfully re-started with renewed energy and commitment. Children are once again benefiting from structured educational support, helping them build a stronger foundation for the future. At the same time, women in the community are actively participating in skill-based training programmes designed to enhance livelihoods and foster financial independence.
Currently reaching several children and women across these villages, the revived programme is bringing a renewed sense of hope and opportunity to these underserved tribal communities. As activities regain momentum, the initiative continues its mission of creating sustainable change and empowering individuals to shape a better future.
