This was Nav Abhiyan’s maiden venture. It was headquartered in Bhaktawarpur village of the Alipur block. Project highlights:

• Pre-school centres, medical camps and vocational training centres
• Project lasted for a duration of 4 years from 1996 to 2000. Project handed over to the local committee
• Individual career enhancement programme: kept continued from 1996 till date
• Revolving fund for betterment of needy girl children and women
• Vocational training

• The Madrasi camp at Jal Vihar, Lajpat Nagar, New Delhi consists of thousands of Tamil domestic and class-four employees who migrated from their home towns down south many generations ago. Adult family members leave early for work, usually taking the older children with them and leaving the younger ones to take care of the infants at home.
• The adolescent children especially girls get neither education nor nutrition and no options to improve their lot. In 2009 we conducted a baseline survey, under the sponsorship of Unniti Foundation, to collect the data to assess the basic requirements of this ‘target’ group.
