Introduction

‘Jashpur Jan Vikas Sanstha, Gholeng’ (JJVS) is a non -government organization. It had its humble beginning with its Founder member Ms. Mamta Kujur. After completing her post-graduation, she strongly felt the need to work for tribal community. She went to the villages and met people and created awareness on the social issues of the tribal community, while trying to understand the issues of community members.
She had strong passion to work for the tribal community therefore along with her team, government officers, likeminded people and other social persons came together and started the organization “Jashpur Jan Vikash Sanstha”which is registered under theSociety Registration Act of 1973/44, dated 01/02/2003 in Chhattisgarh and under Foreign Contribution (Regulation) Act, 1976, Registration No. 327580029 with Nature: - Cultural Educational Social, in 2009.
