During the drive they sweeped the ghat and cleared the water of the poly bags and other debris cleaned the premises around the old fort, it was strewn with garbage and waste. Sewa International has been working for the holistic development of Varanasi, under the project Swachch- Shikshit- Kushal Kashi. The cleanliness and health campaign was kicked off in 2016. Under the campaign we especially target the remote slum areas. It’s a coordinated effort by volunteers, health department and the Sewa workers. It includes sweeping of streets, cleaning of drains and cleaning of river Ganges. Raising awareness on public hygiene remains an integral part of our efforts. Sewa International carries out these cleanliness drive regularly and is committed for a clean and healthy Varanasi.


New Horizons: Reang Education Project

Sewa International has achieved the milestone of opening 14 new educational centres (both day classes and evening classes) in 2 refugee camps of Ashapara and Naisingpara. Due to very low availability of schools in the area and extreme poverty within the family, most of the children belonging to Reang tribe, were forced to remain illiterate as education was a “luxury” they couldn’t afford. Sewa International decided to intervene and provide these children good quality education, free of cost. Today more than 200 children are attending these schools and the number of enrollments is increasing day by day. A new hope for change that we strive for drives our action. Result - Reang Education Project .
 
Sewa International project under Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana

With great pride and responsibility, we wish to share with our patrons that Sewa International has bagged UK 1 cluster under the Prime Minister Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY).

UK 1 cluster comprises of 7 districts of Pauri Garhwal, Tehri Garhwal, Chamoli, Rudraprayag, Uttarkashi, Dehradun, Haridwar. SI will be setting up a Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Kendra (PMKK) in every district to impart skills to the youth and make them job ready. Each PMKK will be handling 5 verticals with 2 courses under each of them, total 10 courses to begin with. It will be scaled up in due course of time to cover the entire gamut of skills being provided by various sectors under the National Skill Development Council. This is a huge step towards making Uttarakhand a strong, self-reliant state with its youth employed gainfully.


Its a Century!!

This month Sewa International stands proud as we have touched the 100 mark. Sewa Uttarakhand under its flagship program Sewa Srujan has enabled the creation of 100 SHGs in the districts of Rudraprayag and Chamoli. Sewa International has touched thousand of lives, and helped them in their journey towards a secure and sustainable future. This has been an exhilarating experience. The resilient Uttarakhandi women, are a hero with thousand faces. Their spirit is our guiding light. Today, as we stand with these 100 SHGs, we look back with a deep sense of satisfaction and resolve to build a better future with greater vigor and conviction, as the journey has just begun!
