Meanwhile, NFHS data shows persistent stunting in children under five. NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN addresses both through integrated community programming.","content":"

Two Crises, One Root Cause

The ASER Report 2024 found that only 43% of Grade 5 students in rural India can read a Grade 2 text. The NFHS-5 found that 35.5% of children under 5 are stunted — a measure of chronic malnutrition with lifelong cognitive consequences.

These are not separate problems. Hunger and ignorance feed each other. A child who comes to school hungry cannot learn. A child who cannot read cannot eventually earn enough to feed their own children. This intergenerational poverty trap is the central challenge of social work organisations like ** NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN **.

Our Integrated Approach

Nutrition

Supplementary Nutrition Distribution (SND): Monthly take-home rations for children 6 months–6 years and pregnant/lactating mothers in targeted clusters
Growth Monitoring: MUAC (Mid-Upper Arm Circumference) measurements at community health camps — children flagged as SAM (Severely Acute Malnourished) referred to NRC (Nutrition Rehabilitation Centres)
Behavioural Change Communication (BCC): Cooking demonstrations, kitchen garden promotion, and myth-busting around traditional feeding practices

Education

Learning Enhancement Camps (LECs): After-school remedial programs for children who have fallen behind, especially post-COVID
School Enrolment Drives: House-to-house surveys to identify out-of-school children and facilitate RTE Section 12(1)(c) admissions in private schools
Teacher Sensitisation: Training of community teachers in joyful learning methodologies aligned with NEP 2020

The School-Community Interface

Perhaps our most important innovation is the School Health & Nutrition Monitoring Committee (SHNMC) — a parent-teacher body that we help constitute at each partner school. This committee:

Monitors PM POSHAN meal quality and quantity
Tracks absenteeism and flags children who drop out
Conducts termly health screenings with support from our field health team

In schools where SHNMCs are active, PM POSHAN complaint rates have dropped by 41% and enrolment retention rates have improved by 18 percentage points.

What This Costs — and What It Returns

The economic argument for investing in child nutrition and education is unambiguous. The World Bank estimates a 10% return on investment for every year of quality schooling. The Global Nutrition Report puts the ROI on nutrition at ₹16 for every ₹1 spent.

At ** NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN **, the cost per beneficiary child per year across our integrated program is approximately ₹3,200 — less than ₹9 per day. Your donation of ₹3,200 can change the trajectory of one child's life.

"},{"title":"Women-Led SHGs: The Quiet Revolution Reshaping Economic Futures in Jharkhand","excerpt":"Across the rural interiors of Jharkhand, women who once had no financial identity of their own are now running micro-enterprises, securing loans, and mentoring the next generation — all through the SHG model that NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN actively promotes.","content":"

A Model That Works

In India 's rural periphery, a group of 12 women gather every Thursday morning under a neem tree. They are members of a Self-Help Group (SHG) facilitated by ** NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN **. Today they are reviewing their collective savings ledger — ₹47,000 pooled over 18 months — and deciding on a loan application from one of their members who wants to buy a second-hand sewing machine.

This is not a development project. This is a functional financial ecosystem built at the grassroots.

What NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN Does Differently

Many organisations form SHGs and walk away. Our model is different:

Formation & Training (Months 1–3)

Identify homogeneous groups of 10–15 women from similar socio-economic backgrounds
Conduct financial literacy training: savings, interest calculation, record-keeping
Link groups to the nearest bank branch for savings accounts under the SHG-Bank Linkage Programme

Incubation & Monitoring (Months 4–18)

Monthly field visits by trained field workers to review books and resolve disputes
Formal grading system — NABARD's "Grade A/B" SHG classification — to unlock credit
Market linkage workshops connecting SHGs to AGMARKNET and district-level FPOs

Graduation & Peer Mentorship (Month 19+)

Mature SHGs become "Mentor SHGs" that train newly formed groups
Successful individual members are profiled for Mudra Yojana loans for micro-enterprise expansion

By the Numbers

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Metric	NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN SHG Program
SHGs Supported	Active in 10+ clusters
Women Reached	500+ directly
Average Savings per SHG	₹38,000+ per annum
Credit Linkage Rate	72% of Grade A SHGs

Beyond Money: The Social Dividend

Economic empowerment is inseparable from social empowerment. Women who control their own income are:

3× more likely to invest in their children's education (ICRW, 2023)
Significantly less likely to tolerate domestic violence
More likely to participate in Gram Sabha meetings and hold elected office

This is why ** NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN views SHG formation not as a livelihood intervention but as the foundation of comprehensive community transformation.**

"},{"title":"Government Schemes That Every Marginalised Family in India Must Know About ( 2026 Guide)","excerpt":"Despite India's extensive social protection architecture, millions of eligible families never access the benefits meant for them. Here is a comprehensive guide to the schemes NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN actively helps communities navigate.","content":"

Why Scheme Access Is a Social Work Issue

India spends over ₹6 lakh crore annually on social sector programs. Yet the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) consistently finds that 20–40% of eligible beneficiaries remain unenrolled. The problem is rarely policy design — it is awareness, documentation, and the last-mile navigator.

At ** NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN **, our field workers serve as that navigator. Below is a guide to the schemes our teams actively work with in Jharkhand and India.

1. PM POSHAN (Formerly Mid-Day Meal Scheme)

Who it covers: Children in Classes 1–8 in government and government-aided schools.

What it provides: Free hot cooked meals with minimum nutritional standards — typically 450 kcal and 12g protein for primary classes.

How NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN helps: We monitor enrolment in target schools, ensure menus meet nutritional standards, and facilitate grievance redressal when meals are substandard or irregular.

2. MGNREGS / NREGA

Who it covers: Any adult in a rural household willing to do unskilled manual work.

What it provides: Guaranteed 100 days of wage employment per household per year at the statutory minimum wage. Compensation for delays.

How NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN helps: We conduct NREGA awareness drives, assist families in registering Job Cards, and document cases of underpayment or irregular work allocation for escalation to the District Programme Coordinator.

3. National Food Security Act (NFSA) / Ration Card

Who it covers: ~75% of rural and ~50% of urban population through Priority Households (PHH) and Antyodaya Anna Yojana (AAY).

What it provides: Subsidised food grains — 5 kg/person/month for PHH at ₹1–3/kg; 35 kg/family/month for AAY at highly subsidised rates.

How NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN helps: We run "Ration Card Camps" helping families apply for, correct, or port their ration cards when they migrate.

4. Ayushman Bharat – PM Jan Arogya Yojana (PMJAY)

Who it covers: Bottom 40% of Indian families based on SECC data — approximately 10.74 crore poor and vulnerable families.

What it provides: ₹5 lakh per family per year for secondary and tertiary hospitalisation at empanelled public and private hospitals.

How NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN helps: Our health volunteers verify eligibility, generate Ayushman cards at Common Service Centres (CSCs), and accompany beneficiaries to hospitals when required.

5. PM Awas Yojana – Gramin (PMAY-G)

Who it covers: Homeless families and those living in kutcha or dilapidated houses as per SECC data.

What it provides: ₹1.20 lakh (plains) or ₹1.30 lakh (hills/NE) for construction of a pucca house with toilet.

"},{"title":"From Distress to Dignity: How Community-Based Social Work Is Changing Rural India","excerpt":"India's social fabric is held together not by residential shelters or institutional care alone, but by thousands of quiet community workers who show up every day in villages and urban slums to bridge the gap between policy and people.","content":"

The Invisible Backbone of India's Social Sector

India is home to over 3.3 million registered NGOs — yet the most impactful work often happens far from headlines, in the dusty lanes of semi-urban clusters and the drought-parched villages of interior Jharkhand. ** NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN ** operates in this space, delivering non-residential social work that reaches people where they live.

What Is NIC Code 88900?

The National Industrial Classification code 88900 covers "Other Social Work Activities Without Accommodation" — a category that encompasses everything from community health outreach and nutrition monitoring to legal aid camps and livelihood skilling programs. These are services that never require a bed or a roof because they are delivered in the field, on demand, sustainably.

Why Field-Based Delivery Matters

When the Government of India launched schemes like PM POSHAN, NREGA, and the National Food Security Act (NFSA), the assumption was that local governance machinery would handle last-mile delivery. In practice, information asymmetry, administrative bottlenecks, and social hierarchies mean that the most vulnerable — women in patriarchal households, Dalit families in upper-caste-dominant villages, urban migrants without documents — are consistently excluded.

This is precisely the gap that NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN fills:

Community Welfare Desks set up in wards and panchayats to provide real-time scheme guidance
Door-to-door beneficiary surveys identifying families who qualify for but are not enrolled in government programs
Mobile health camps covering preventive care, maternal nutrition, and child immunisation
Self-Help Group (SHG) partnerships building women's financial resilience at the grassroots

Impact at Scale

Since its founding, NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN has directly served over ** 500+ ** individuals across ** 10+ ** program interventions. Critically, 68% of beneficiaries are women and girls — a deliberate targeting strategy rooted in evidence that investing in women produces the highest multiplier effect on household and community wellbeing.

The Road Ahead

Community-based social work is not glamorous. There are no viral campaigns, no easy metrics. But it is the most honest form of development work — persistent, accountable, and deeply rooted in the lived realities of those it serves.

NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN is committed to expanding its field presence across Jharkhand and beyond. If you believe in this model of change, we invite you to donate, volunteer, or simply share our story.*

Two Crises, One Root Cause

Our Integrated Approach

Nutrition

Supplementary Nutrition Distribution (SND): Monthly take-home rations for children 6 months–6 years and pregnant/lactating mothers in targeted clusters
Growth Monitoring: MUAC (Mid-Upper Arm Circumference) measurements at community health camps — children flagged as SAM (Severely Acute Malnourished) referred to NRC (Nutrition Rehabilitation Centres)
Behavioural Change Communication (BCC): Cooking demonstrations, kitchen garden promotion, and myth-busting around traditional feeding practices

Education

Learning Enhancement Camps (LECs): After-school remedial programs for children who have fallen behind, especially post-COVID
School Enrolment Drives: House-to-house surveys to identify out-of-school children and facilitate RTE Section 12(1)(c) admissions in private schools
Teacher Sensitisation: Training of community teachers in joyful learning methodologies aligned with NEP 2020

The School-Community Interface

Perhaps our most important innovation is the School Health & Nutrition Monitoring Committee (SHNMC) — a parent-teacher body that we help constitute at each partner school. This committee:

Monitors PM POSHAN meal quality and quantity
Tracks absenteeism and flags children who drop out
Conducts termly health screenings with support from our field health team

In schools where SHNMCs are active, PM POSHAN complaint rates have dropped by 41% and enrolment retention rates have improved by 18 percentage points.

A Model That Works

This is not a development project. This is a functional financial ecosystem built at the grassroots.

What NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN Does Differently

Many organisations form SHGs and walk away. Our model is different:

Formation & Training (Months 1–3)

Identify homogeneous groups of 10–15 women from similar socio-economic backgrounds
Conduct financial literacy training: savings, interest calculation, record-keeping
Link groups to the nearest bank branch for savings accounts under the SHG-Bank Linkage Programme

Incubation & Monitoring (Months 4–18)

Monthly field visits by trained field workers to review books and resolve disputes
Formal grading system — NABARD's "Grade A/B" SHG classification — to unlock credit
Market linkage workshops connecting SHGs to AGMARKNET and district-level FPOs

Graduation & Peer Mentorship (Month 19+)

Mature SHGs become "Mentor SHGs" that train newly formed groups
Successful individual members are profiled for Mudra Yojana loans for micro-enterprise expansion

By the Numbers

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Metric	NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN SHG Program
SHGs Supported	Active in 10+ clusters
Women Reached	500+ directly
Average Savings per SHG	₹38,000+ per annum
Credit Linkage Rate	72% of Grade A SHGs

Beyond Money: The Social Dividend

Economic empowerment is inseparable from social empowerment. Women who control their own income are:

3× more likely to invest in their children's education (ICRW, 2023)
Significantly less likely to tolerate domestic violence
More likely to participate in Gram Sabha meetings and hold elected office

This is why ** NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN views SHG formation not as a livelihood intervention but as the foundation of comprehensive community transformation.**

Two Crises, One Root Cause

Our Integrated Approach

Nutrition

Supplementary Nutrition Distribution (SND): Monthly take-home rations for children 6 months–6 years and pregnant/lactating mothers in targeted clusters
Growth Monitoring: MUAC (Mid-Upper Arm Circumference) measurements at community health camps — children flagged as SAM (Severely Acute Malnourished) referred to NRC (Nutrition Rehabilitation Centres)
Behavioural Change Communication (BCC): Cooking demonstrations, kitchen garden promotion, and myth-busting around traditional feeding practices

Education

Learning Enhancement Camps (LECs): After-school remedial programs for children who have fallen behind, especially post-COVID
School Enrolment Drives: House-to-house surveys to identify out-of-school children and facilitate RTE Section 12(1)(c) admissions in private schools
Teacher Sensitisation: Training of community teachers in joyful learning methodologies aligned with NEP 2020

The School-Community Interface

Perhaps our most important innovation is the School Health & Nutrition Monitoring Committee (SHNMC) — a parent-teacher body that we help constitute at each partner school. This committee:

Monitors PM POSHAN meal quality and quantity
Tracks absenteeism and flags children who drop out
Conducts termly health screenings with support from our field health team

In schools where SHNMCs are active, PM POSHAN complaint rates have dropped by 41% and enrolment retention rates have improved by 18 percentage points.

A Model That Works

This is not a development project. This is a functional financial ecosystem built at the grassroots.

What NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN Does Differently

Many organisations form SHGs and walk away. Our model is different:

Formation & Training (Months 1–3)

Identify homogeneous groups of 10–15 women from similar socio-economic backgrounds
Conduct financial literacy training: savings, interest calculation, record-keeping
Link groups to the nearest bank branch for savings accounts under the SHG-Bank Linkage Programme

Incubation & Monitoring (Months 4–18)

Monthly field visits by trained field workers to review books and resolve disputes
Formal grading system — NABARD's "Grade A/B" SHG classification — to unlock credit
Market linkage workshops connecting SHGs to AGMARKNET and district-level FPOs

Graduation & Peer Mentorship (Month 19+)

Mature SHGs become "Mentor SHGs" that train newly formed groups
Successful individual members are profiled for Mudra Yojana loans for micro-enterprise expansion

By the Numbers

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Metric	NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN SHG Program
SHGs Supported	Active in 10+ clusters
Women Reached	500+ directly
Average Savings per SHG	₹38,000+ per annum
Credit Linkage Rate	72% of Grade A SHGs

Beyond Money: The Social Dividend

Economic empowerment is inseparable from social empowerment. Women who control their own income are:

3× more likely to invest in their children's education (ICRW, 2023)
Significantly less likely to tolerate domestic violence
More likely to participate in Gram Sabha meetings and hold elected office

This is why ** NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN views SHG formation not as a livelihood intervention but as the foundation of comprehensive community transformation.**

Two Crises, One Root Cause

Our Integrated Approach

Nutrition

Supplementary Nutrition Distribution (SND): Monthly take-home rations for children 6 months–6 years and pregnant/lactating mothers in targeted clusters
Growth Monitoring: MUAC (Mid-Upper Arm Circumference) measurements at community health camps — children flagged as SAM (Severely Acute Malnourished) referred to NRC (Nutrition Rehabilitation Centres)
Behavioural Change Communication (BCC): Cooking demonstrations, kitchen garden promotion, and myth-busting around traditional feeding practices

Education

Learning Enhancement Camps (LECs): After-school remedial programs for children who have fallen behind, especially post-COVID
School Enrolment Drives: House-to-house surveys to identify out-of-school children and facilitate RTE Section 12(1)(c) admissions in private schools
Teacher Sensitisation: Training of community teachers in joyful learning methodologies aligned with NEP 2020

The School-Community Interface

Perhaps our most important innovation is the School Health & Nutrition Monitoring Committee (SHNMC) — a parent-teacher body that we help constitute at each partner school. This committee:

Monitors PM POSHAN meal quality and quantity
Tracks absenteeism and flags children who drop out
Conducts termly health screenings with support from our field health team

In schools where SHNMCs are active, PM POSHAN complaint rates have dropped by 41% and enrolment retention rates have improved by 18 percentage points.

A Model That Works

This is not a development project. This is a functional financial ecosystem built at the grassroots.

What NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN Does Differently

Many organisations form SHGs and walk away. Our model is different:

Formation & Training (Months 1–3)

Identify homogeneous groups of 10–15 women from similar socio-economic backgrounds
Conduct financial literacy training: savings, interest calculation, record-keeping
Link groups to the nearest bank branch for savings accounts under the SHG-Bank Linkage Programme

Incubation & Monitoring (Months 4–18)

Monthly field visits by trained field workers to review books and resolve disputes
Formal grading system — NABARD's "Grade A/B" SHG classification — to unlock credit
Market linkage workshops connecting SHGs to AGMARKNET and district-level FPOs

Graduation & Peer Mentorship (Month 19+)

Mature SHGs become "Mentor SHGs" that train newly formed groups
Successful individual members are profiled for Mudra Yojana loans for micro-enterprise expansion

By the Numbers

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Metric	NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN SHG Program
SHGs Supported	Active in 10+ clusters
Women Reached	500+ directly
Average Savings per SHG	₹38,000+ per annum
Credit Linkage Rate	72% of Grade A SHGs

Beyond Money: The Social Dividend

Economic empowerment is inseparable from social empowerment. Women who control their own income are:

3× more likely to invest in their children's education (ICRW, 2023)
Significantly less likely to tolerate domestic violence
More likely to participate in Gram Sabha meetings and hold elected office

This is why ** NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN views SHG formation not as a livelihood intervention but as the foundation of comprehensive community transformation.**

Supplementary Nutrition Distribution (SND): Monthly take-home rations for children 6 months–6 years and pregnant/lactating mothers in targeted clusters
Growth Monitoring: MUAC (Mid-Upper Arm Circumference) measurements at community health camps — children flagged as SAM (Severely Acute Malnourished) referred to NRC (Nutrition Rehabilitation Centres)
Behavioural Change Communication (BCC): Cooking demonstrations, kitchen garden promotion, and myth-busting around traditional feeding practices

Education

Learning Enhancement Camps (LECs): After-school remedial programs for children who have fallen behind, especially post-COVID
School Enrolment Drives: House-to-house surveys to identify out-of-school children and facilitate RTE Section 12(1)(c) admissions in private schools
Teacher Sensitisation: Training of community teachers in joyful learning methodologies aligned with NEP 2020

The School-Community Interface

Perhaps our most important innovation is the School Health & Nutrition Monitoring Committee (SHNMC) — a parent-teacher body that we help constitute at each partner school. This committee:

Monitors PM POSHAN meal quality and quantity
Tracks absenteeism and flags children who drop out
Conducts termly health screenings with support from our field health team

In schools where SHNMCs are active, PM POSHAN complaint rates have dropped by 41% and enrolment retention rates have improved by 18 percentage points.

A Model That Works

This is not a development project. This is a functional financial ecosystem built at the grassroots.

What NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN Does Differently

Many organisations form SHGs and walk away. Our model is different:

Formation & Training (Months 1–3)

Identify homogeneous groups of 10–15 women from similar socio-economic backgrounds
Conduct financial literacy training: savings, interest calculation, record-keeping
Link groups to the nearest bank branch for savings accounts under the SHG-Bank Linkage Programme

Incubation & Monitoring (Months 4–18)

Monthly field visits by trained field workers to review books and resolve disputes
Formal grading system — NABARD's "Grade A/B" SHG classification — to unlock credit
Market linkage workshops connecting SHGs to AGMARKNET and district-level FPOs

Graduation & Peer Mentorship (Month 19+)

Mature SHGs become "Mentor SHGs" that train newly formed groups
Successful individual members are profiled for Mudra Yojana loans for micro-enterprise expansion

Metric	NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN SHG Program
SHGs Supported	Active in 10+ clusters
Women Reached	500+ directly
Average Savings per SHG	₹38,000+ per annum
Credit Linkage Rate	72% of Grade A SHGs

Beyond Money: The Social Dividend

Economic empowerment is inseparable from social empowerment. Women who control their own income are:

3× more likely to invest in their children's education (ICRW, 2023)
Significantly less likely to tolerate domestic violence
More likely to participate in Gram Sabha meetings and hold elected office

This is why ** NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN views SHG formation not as a livelihood intervention but as the foundation of comprehensive community transformation.**

Two Crises, One Root Cause

Our Integrated Approach

Nutrition

Supplementary Nutrition Distribution (SND): Monthly take-home rations for children 6 months–6 years and pregnant/lactating mothers in targeted clusters
Growth Monitoring: MUAC (Mid-Upper Arm Circumference) measurements at community health camps — children flagged as SAM (Severely Acute Malnourished) referred to NRC (Nutrition Rehabilitation Centres)
Behavioural Change Communication (BCC): Cooking demonstrations, kitchen garden promotion, and myth-busting around traditional feeding practices

Education

Learning Enhancement Camps (LECs): After-school remedial programs for children who have fallen behind, especially post-COVID
School Enrolment Drives: House-to-house surveys to identify out-of-school children and facilitate RTE Section 12(1)(c) admissions in private schools
Teacher Sensitisation: Training of community teachers in joyful learning methodologies aligned with NEP 2020

The School-Community Interface

Perhaps our most important innovation is the School Health & Nutrition Monitoring Committee (SHNMC) — a parent-teacher body that we help constitute at each partner school. This committee:

Monitors PM POSHAN meal quality and quantity
Tracks absenteeism and flags children who drop out
Conducts termly health screenings with support from our field health team

In schools where SHNMCs are active, PM POSHAN complaint rates have dropped by 41% and enrolment retention rates have improved by 18 percentage points.

Two Crises, One Root Cause

Our Integrated Approach

Nutrition

Supplementary Nutrition Distribution (SND): Monthly take-home rations for children 6 months–6 years and pregnant/lactating mothers in targeted clusters
Growth Monitoring: MUAC (Mid-Upper Arm Circumference) measurements at community health camps — children flagged as SAM (Severely Acute Malnourished) referred to NRC (Nutrition Rehabilitation Centres)
Behavioural Change Communication (BCC): Cooking demonstrations, kitchen garden promotion, and myth-busting around traditional feeding practices

Education

Learning Enhancement Camps (LECs): After-school remedial programs for children who have fallen behind, especially post-COVID
School Enrolment Drives: House-to-house surveys to identify out-of-school children and facilitate RTE Section 12(1)(c) admissions in private schools
Teacher Sensitisation: Training of community teachers in joyful learning methodologies aligned with NEP 2020

The School-Community Interface

Perhaps our most important innovation is the School Health & Nutrition Monitoring Committee (SHNMC) — a parent-teacher body that we help constitute at each partner school. This committee:

Monitors PM POSHAN meal quality and quantity
Tracks absenteeism and flags children who drop out
Conducts termly health screenings with support from our field health team

In schools where SHNMCs are active, PM POSHAN complaint rates have dropped by 41% and enrolment retention rates have improved by 18 percentage points.

A Model That Works

This is not a development project. This is a functional financial ecosystem built at the grassroots.

What NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN Does Differently

Many organisations form SHGs and walk away. Our model is different:

Formation & Training (Months 1–3)

Identify homogeneous groups of 10–15 women from similar socio-economic backgrounds
Conduct financial literacy training: savings, interest calculation, record-keeping
Link groups to the nearest bank branch for savings accounts under the SHG-Bank Linkage Programme

Incubation & Monitoring (Months 4–18)

Monthly field visits by trained field workers to review books and resolve disputes
Formal grading system — NABARD's "Grade A/B" SHG classification — to unlock credit
Market linkage workshops connecting SHGs to AGMARKNET and district-level FPOs

Graduation & Peer Mentorship (Month 19+)

Mature SHGs become "Mentor SHGs" that train newly formed groups
Successful individual members are profiled for Mudra Yojana loans for micro-enterprise expansion

By the Numbers

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Metric	NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN SHG Program
SHGs Supported	Active in 10+ clusters
Women Reached	500+ directly
Average Savings per SHG	₹38,000+ per annum
Credit Linkage Rate	72% of Grade A SHGs

Beyond Money: The Social Dividend

Economic empowerment is inseparable from social empowerment. Women who control their own income are:

3× more likely to invest in their children's education (ICRW, 2023)
Significantly less likely to tolerate domestic violence
More likely to participate in Gram Sabha meetings and hold elected office

This is why ** NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN views SHG formation not as a livelihood intervention but as the foundation of comprehensive community transformation.**

Two Crises, One Root Cause

Our Integrated Approach

Nutrition

Supplementary Nutrition Distribution (SND): Monthly take-home rations for children 6 months–6 years and pregnant/lactating mothers in targeted clusters
Growth Monitoring: MUAC (Mid-Upper Arm Circumference) measurements at community health camps — children flagged as SAM (Severely Acute Malnourished) referred to NRC (Nutrition Rehabilitation Centres)
Behavioural Change Communication (BCC): Cooking demonstrations, kitchen garden promotion, and myth-busting around traditional feeding practices

Education

Learning Enhancement Camps (LECs): After-school remedial programs for children who have fallen behind, especially post-COVID
School Enrolment Drives: House-to-house surveys to identify out-of-school children and facilitate RTE Section 12(1)(c) admissions in private schools
Teacher Sensitisation: Training of community teachers in joyful learning methodologies aligned with NEP 2020

The School-Community Interface

Perhaps our most important innovation is the School Health & Nutrition Monitoring Committee (SHNMC) — a parent-teacher body that we help constitute at each partner school. This committee:

Monitors PM POSHAN meal quality and quantity
Tracks absenteeism and flags children who drop out
Conducts termly health screenings with support from our field health team

In schools where SHNMCs are active, PM POSHAN complaint rates have dropped by 41% and enrolment retention rates have improved by 18 percentage points.

A Model That Works

This is not a development project. This is a functional financial ecosystem built at the grassroots.

What NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN Does Differently

Many organisations form SHGs and walk away. Our model is different:

Formation & Training (Months 1–3)

Identify homogeneous groups of 10–15 women from similar socio-economic backgrounds
Conduct financial literacy training: savings, interest calculation, record-keeping
Link groups to the nearest bank branch for savings accounts under the SHG-Bank Linkage Programme

Incubation & Monitoring (Months 4–18)

Monthly field visits by trained field workers to review books and resolve disputes
Formal grading system — NABARD's "Grade A/B" SHG classification — to unlock credit
Market linkage workshops connecting SHGs to AGMARKNET and district-level FPOs

Graduation & Peer Mentorship (Month 19+)

Mature SHGs become "Mentor SHGs" that train newly formed groups
Successful individual members are profiled for Mudra Yojana loans for micro-enterprise expansion

By the Numbers

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Metric	NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN SHG Program
SHGs Supported	Active in 10+ clusters
Women Reached	500+ directly
Average Savings per SHG	₹38,000+ per annum
Credit Linkage Rate	72% of Grade A SHGs

Beyond Money: The Social Dividend

Economic empowerment is inseparable from social empowerment. Women who control their own income are:

3× more likely to invest in their children's education (ICRW, 2023)
Significantly less likely to tolerate domestic violence
More likely to participate in Gram Sabha meetings and hold elected office

This is why ** NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN views SHG formation not as a livelihood intervention but as the foundation of comprehensive community transformation.**

Two Crises, One Root Cause

Our Integrated Approach

Nutrition

Supplementary Nutrition Distribution (SND): Monthly take-home rations for children 6 months–6 years and pregnant/lactating mothers in targeted clusters
Growth Monitoring: MUAC (Mid-Upper Arm Circumference) measurements at community health camps — children flagged as SAM (Severely Acute Malnourished) referred to NRC (Nutrition Rehabilitation Centres)
Behavioural Change Communication (BCC): Cooking demonstrations, kitchen garden promotion, and myth-busting around traditional feeding practices

Education

Learning Enhancement Camps (LECs): After-school remedial programs for children who have fallen behind, especially post-COVID
School Enrolment Drives: House-to-house surveys to identify out-of-school children and facilitate RTE Section 12(1)(c) admissions in private schools
Teacher Sensitisation: Training of community teachers in joyful learning methodologies aligned with NEP 2020

The School-Community Interface

Perhaps our most important innovation is the School Health & Nutrition Monitoring Committee (SHNMC) — a parent-teacher body that we help constitute at each partner school. This committee:

Monitors PM POSHAN meal quality and quantity
Tracks absenteeism and flags children who drop out
Conducts termly health screenings with support from our field health team

In schools where SHNMCs are active, PM POSHAN complaint rates have dropped by 41% and enrolment retention rates have improved by 18 percentage points.

A Model That Works

This is not a development project. This is a functional financial ecosystem built at the grassroots.

What NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN Does Differently

Many organisations form SHGs and walk away. Our model is different:

Formation & Training (Months 1–3)

Identify homogeneous groups of 10–15 women from similar socio-economic backgrounds
Conduct financial literacy training: savings, interest calculation, record-keeping
Link groups to the nearest bank branch for savings accounts under the SHG-Bank Linkage Programme

Incubation & Monitoring (Months 4–18)

Monthly field visits by trained field workers to review books and resolve disputes
Formal grading system — NABARD's "Grade A/B" SHG classification — to unlock credit
Market linkage workshops connecting SHGs to AGMARKNET and district-level FPOs

Graduation & Peer Mentorship (Month 19+)

Mature SHGs become "Mentor SHGs" that train newly formed groups
Successful individual members are profiled for Mudra Yojana loans for micro-enterprise expansion

By the Numbers

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Metric	NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN SHG Program
SHGs Supported	Active in 10+ clusters
Women Reached	500+ directly
Average Savings per SHG	₹38,000+ per annum
Credit Linkage Rate	72% of Grade A SHGs

Beyond Money: The Social Dividend

Economic empowerment is inseparable from social empowerment. Women who control their own income are:

3× more likely to invest in their children's education (ICRW, 2023)
Significantly less likely to tolerate domestic violence
More likely to participate in Gram Sabha meetings and hold elected office

This is why ** NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN views SHG formation not as a livelihood intervention but as the foundation of comprehensive community transformation.**

Two Crises, One Root Cause

Our Integrated Approach

Nutrition

Supplementary Nutrition Distribution (SND): Monthly take-home rations for children 6 months–6 years and pregnant/lactating mothers in targeted clusters
Growth Monitoring: MUAC (Mid-Upper Arm Circumference) measurements at community health camps — children flagged as SAM (Severely Acute Malnourished) referred to NRC (Nutrition Rehabilitation Centres)
Behavioural Change Communication (BCC): Cooking demonstrations, kitchen garden promotion, and myth-busting around traditional feeding practices

Education

Learning Enhancement Camps (LECs): After-school remedial programs for children who have fallen behind, especially post-COVID
School Enrolment Drives: House-to-house surveys to identify out-of-school children and facilitate RTE Section 12(1)(c) admissions in private schools
Teacher Sensitisation: Training of community teachers in joyful learning methodologies aligned with NEP 2020

The School-Community Interface

Perhaps our most important innovation is the School Health & Nutrition Monitoring Committee (SHNMC) — a parent-teacher body that we help constitute at each partner school. This committee:

Monitors PM POSHAN meal quality and quantity
Tracks absenteeism and flags children who drop out
Conducts termly health screenings with support from our field health team

In schools where SHNMCs are active, PM POSHAN complaint rates have dropped by 41% and enrolment retention rates have improved by 18 percentage points.

A Model That Works

This is not a development project. This is a functional financial ecosystem built at the grassroots.

What NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN Does Differently

Many organisations form SHGs and walk away. Our model is different:

Formation & Training (Months 1–3)

Identify homogeneous groups of 10–15 women from similar socio-economic backgrounds
Conduct financial literacy training: savings, interest calculation, record-keeping
Link groups to the nearest bank branch for savings accounts under the SHG-Bank Linkage Programme

Incubation & Monitoring (Months 4–18)

Monthly field visits by trained field workers to review books and resolve disputes
Formal grading system — NABARD's "Grade A/B" SHG classification — to unlock credit
Market linkage workshops connecting SHGs to AGMARKNET and district-level FPOs

Graduation & Peer Mentorship (Month 19+)

Mature SHGs become "Mentor SHGs" that train newly formed groups
Successful individual members are profiled for Mudra Yojana loans for micro-enterprise expansion

By the Numbers

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Metric	NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN SHG Program
SHGs Supported	Active in 10+ clusters
Women Reached	500+ directly
Average Savings per SHG	₹38,000+ per annum
Credit Linkage Rate	72% of Grade A SHGs

Beyond Money: The Social Dividend

Economic empowerment is inseparable from social empowerment. Women who control their own income are:

3× more likely to invest in their children's education (ICRW, 2023)
Significantly less likely to tolerate domestic violence
More likely to participate in Gram Sabha meetings and hold elected office

This is why ** NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN views SHG formation not as a livelihood intervention but as the foundation of comprehensive community transformation.**

Two Crises, One Root Cause

Our Integrated Approach

Nutrition

Supplementary Nutrition Distribution (SND): Monthly take-home rations for children 6 months–6 years and pregnant/lactating mothers in targeted clusters
Growth Monitoring: MUAC (Mid-Upper Arm Circumference) measurements at community health camps — children flagged as SAM (Severely Acute Malnourished) referred to NRC (Nutrition Rehabilitation Centres)
Behavioural Change Communication (BCC): Cooking demonstrations, kitchen garden promotion, and myth-busting around traditional feeding practices

Education

Learning Enhancement Camps (LECs): After-school remedial programs for children who have fallen behind, especially post-COVID
School Enrolment Drives: House-to-house surveys to identify out-of-school children and facilitate RTE Section 12(1)(c) admissions in private schools
Teacher Sensitisation: Training of community teachers in joyful learning methodologies aligned with NEP 2020

The School-Community Interface

Perhaps our most important innovation is the School Health & Nutrition Monitoring Committee (SHNMC) — a parent-teacher body that we help constitute at each partner school. This committee:

Monitors PM POSHAN meal quality and quantity
Tracks absenteeism and flags children who drop out
Conducts termly health screenings with support from our field health team

In schools where SHNMCs are active, PM POSHAN complaint rates have dropped by 41% and enrolment retention rates have improved by 18 percentage points.

Two Crises, One Root Cause

Our Integrated Approach

Nutrition

Supplementary Nutrition Distribution (SND): Monthly take-home rations for children 6 months–6 years and pregnant/lactating mothers in targeted clusters
Growth Monitoring: MUAC (Mid-Upper Arm Circumference) measurements at community health camps — children flagged as SAM (Severely Acute Malnourished) referred to NRC (Nutrition Rehabilitation Centres)
Behavioural Change Communication (BCC): Cooking demonstrations, kitchen garden promotion, and myth-busting around traditional feeding practices

Education

Learning Enhancement Camps (LECs): After-school remedial programs for children who have fallen behind, especially post-COVID
School Enrolment Drives: House-to-house surveys to identify out-of-school children and facilitate RTE Section 12(1)(c) admissions in private schools
Teacher Sensitisation: Training of community teachers in joyful learning methodologies aligned with NEP 2020

The School-Community Interface

Perhaps our most important innovation is the School Health & Nutrition Monitoring Committee (SHNMC) — a parent-teacher body that we help constitute at each partner school. This committee:

Monitors PM POSHAN meal quality and quantity
Tracks absenteeism and flags children who drop out
Conducts termly health screenings with support from our field health team

In schools where SHNMCs are active, PM POSHAN complaint rates have dropped by 41% and enrolment retention rates have improved by 18 percentage points.

A Model That Works

This is not a development project. This is a functional financial ecosystem built at the grassroots.

What NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN Does Differently

Many organisations form SHGs and walk away. Our model is different:

Formation & Training (Months 1–3)

Identify homogeneous groups of 10–15 women from similar socio-economic backgrounds
Conduct financial literacy training: savings, interest calculation, record-keeping
Link groups to the nearest bank branch for savings accounts under the SHG-Bank Linkage Programme

Incubation & Monitoring (Months 4–18)

Monthly field visits by trained field workers to review books and resolve disputes
Formal grading system — NABARD's "Grade A/B" SHG classification — to unlock credit
Market linkage workshops connecting SHGs to AGMARKNET and district-level FPOs

Graduation & Peer Mentorship (Month 19+)

Mature SHGs become "Mentor SHGs" that train newly formed groups
Successful individual members are profiled for Mudra Yojana loans for micro-enterprise expansion

By the Numbers

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Metric	NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN SHG Program
SHGs Supported	Active in 10+ clusters
Women Reached	500+ directly
Average Savings per SHG	₹38,000+ per annum
Credit Linkage Rate	72% of Grade A SHGs

Beyond Money: The Social Dividend

Economic empowerment is inseparable from social empowerment. Women who control their own income are:

3× more likely to invest in their children's education (ICRW, 2023)
Significantly less likely to tolerate domestic violence
More likely to participate in Gram Sabha meetings and hold elected office

This is why ** NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN views SHG formation not as a livelihood intervention but as the foundation of comprehensive community transformation.**

Two Crises, One Root Cause

Our Integrated Approach

Nutrition

Supplementary Nutrition Distribution (SND): Monthly take-home rations for children 6 months–6 years and pregnant/lactating mothers in targeted clusters
Growth Monitoring: MUAC (Mid-Upper Arm Circumference) measurements at community health camps — children flagged as SAM (Severely Acute Malnourished) referred to NRC (Nutrition Rehabilitation Centres)
Behavioural Change Communication (BCC): Cooking demonstrations, kitchen garden promotion, and myth-busting around traditional feeding practices

Education

Learning Enhancement Camps (LECs): After-school remedial programs for children who have fallen behind, especially post-COVID
School Enrolment Drives: House-to-house surveys to identify out-of-school children and facilitate RTE Section 12(1)(c) admissions in private schools
Teacher Sensitisation: Training of community teachers in joyful learning methodologies aligned with NEP 2020

The School-Community Interface

Perhaps our most important innovation is the School Health & Nutrition Monitoring Committee (SHNMC) — a parent-teacher body that we help constitute at each partner school. This committee:

Monitors PM POSHAN meal quality and quantity
Tracks absenteeism and flags children who drop out
Conducts termly health screenings with support from our field health team

In schools where SHNMCs are active, PM POSHAN complaint rates have dropped by 41% and enrolment retention rates have improved by 18 percentage points.

A Model That Works

This is not a development project. This is a functional financial ecosystem built at the grassroots.

What NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN Does Differently

Many organisations form SHGs and walk away. Our model is different:

Formation & Training (Months 1–3)

Identify homogeneous groups of 10–15 women from similar socio-economic backgrounds
Conduct financial literacy training: savings, interest calculation, record-keeping
Link groups to the nearest bank branch for savings accounts under the SHG-Bank Linkage Programme

Incubation & Monitoring (Months 4–18)

Monthly field visits by trained field workers to review books and resolve disputes
Formal grading system — NABARD's "Grade A/B" SHG classification — to unlock credit
Market linkage workshops connecting SHGs to AGMARKNET and district-level FPOs

Graduation & Peer Mentorship (Month 19+)

Mature SHGs become "Mentor SHGs" that train newly formed groups
Successful individual members are profiled for Mudra Yojana loans for micro-enterprise expansion

By the Numbers

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Metric	NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN SHG Program
SHGs Supported	Active in 10+ clusters
Women Reached	500+ directly
Average Savings per SHG	₹38,000+ per annum
Credit Linkage Rate	72% of Grade A SHGs

Beyond Money: The Social Dividend

Economic empowerment is inseparable from social empowerment. Women who control their own income are:

3× more likely to invest in their children's education (ICRW, 2023)
Significantly less likely to tolerate domestic violence
More likely to participate in Gram Sabha meetings and hold elected office

This is why ** NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN views SHG formation not as a livelihood intervention but as the foundation of comprehensive community transformation.**

Two Crises, One Root Cause

Our Integrated Approach

Nutrition

Supplementary Nutrition Distribution (SND): Monthly take-home rations for children 6 months–6 years and pregnant/lactating mothers in targeted clusters
Growth Monitoring: MUAC (Mid-Upper Arm Circumference) measurements at community health camps — children flagged as SAM (Severely Acute Malnourished) referred to NRC (Nutrition Rehabilitation Centres)
Behavioural Change Communication (BCC): Cooking demonstrations, kitchen garden promotion, and myth-busting around traditional feeding practices

Education

Learning Enhancement Camps (LECs): After-school remedial programs for children who have fallen behind, especially post-COVID
School Enrolment Drives: House-to-house surveys to identify out-of-school children and facilitate RTE Section 12(1)(c) admissions in private schools
Teacher Sensitisation: Training of community teachers in joyful learning methodologies aligned with NEP 2020

The School-Community Interface

Perhaps our most important innovation is the School Health & Nutrition Monitoring Committee (SHNMC) — a parent-teacher body that we help constitute at each partner school. This committee:

Monitors PM POSHAN meal quality and quantity
Tracks absenteeism and flags children who drop out
Conducts termly health screenings with support from our field health team

In schools where SHNMCs are active, PM POSHAN complaint rates have dropped by 41% and enrolment retention rates have improved by 18 percentage points.

A Model That Works

This is not a development project. This is a functional financial ecosystem built at the grassroots.

What NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN Does Differently

Many organisations form SHGs and walk away. Our model is different:

Formation & Training (Months 1–3)

Identify homogeneous groups of 10–15 women from similar socio-economic backgrounds
Conduct financial literacy training: savings, interest calculation, record-keeping
Link groups to the nearest bank branch for savings accounts under the SHG-Bank Linkage Programme

Incubation & Monitoring (Months 4–18)

Monthly field visits by trained field workers to review books and resolve disputes
Formal grading system — NABARD's "Grade A/B" SHG classification — to unlock credit
Market linkage workshops connecting SHGs to AGMARKNET and district-level FPOs

Graduation & Peer Mentorship (Month 19+)

Mature SHGs become "Mentor SHGs" that train newly formed groups
Successful individual members are profiled for Mudra Yojana loans for micro-enterprise expansion

By the Numbers

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Metric	NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN SHG Program
SHGs Supported	Active in 10+ clusters
Women Reached	500+ directly
Average Savings per SHG	₹38,000+ per annum
Credit Linkage Rate	72% of Grade A SHGs

Beyond Money: The Social Dividend

Economic empowerment is inseparable from social empowerment. Women who control their own income are:

3× more likely to invest in their children's education (ICRW, 2023)
Significantly less likely to tolerate domestic violence
More likely to participate in Gram Sabha meetings and hold elected office

This is why ** NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN views SHG formation not as a livelihood intervention but as the foundation of comprehensive community transformation.**

Two Crises, One Root Cause

Our Integrated Approach

Nutrition

Supplementary Nutrition Distribution (SND): Monthly take-home rations for children 6 months–6 years and pregnant/lactating mothers in targeted clusters
Growth Monitoring: MUAC (Mid-Upper Arm Circumference) measurements at community health camps — children flagged as SAM (Severely Acute Malnourished) referred to NRC (Nutrition Rehabilitation Centres)
Behavioural Change Communication (BCC): Cooking demonstrations, kitchen garden promotion, and myth-busting around traditional feeding practices

Education

Learning Enhancement Camps (LECs): After-school remedial programs for children who have fallen behind, especially post-COVID
School Enrolment Drives: House-to-house surveys to identify out-of-school children and facilitate RTE Section 12(1)(c) admissions in private schools
Teacher Sensitisation: Training of community teachers in joyful learning methodologies aligned with NEP 2020

The School-Community Interface

Perhaps our most important innovation is the School Health & Nutrition Monitoring Committee (SHNMC) — a parent-teacher body that we help constitute at each partner school. This committee:

Monitors PM POSHAN meal quality and quantity
Tracks absenteeism and flags children who drop out
Conducts termly health screenings with support from our field health team

In schools where SHNMCs are active, PM POSHAN complaint rates have dropped by 41% and enrolment retention rates have improved by 18 percentage points.

A Model That Works

This is not a development project. This is a functional financial ecosystem built at the grassroots.

What NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN Does Differently

Many organisations form SHGs and walk away. Our model is different:

Formation & Training (Months 1–3)

Identify homogeneous groups of 10–15 women from similar socio-economic backgrounds
Conduct financial literacy training: savings, interest calculation, record-keeping
Link groups to the nearest bank branch for savings accounts under the SHG-Bank Linkage Programme

Incubation & Monitoring (Months 4–18)

Monthly field visits by trained field workers to review books and resolve disputes
Formal grading system — NABARD's "Grade A/B" SHG classification — to unlock credit
Market linkage workshops connecting SHGs to AGMARKNET and district-level FPOs

Graduation & Peer Mentorship (Month 19+)

Mature SHGs become "Mentor SHGs" that train newly formed groups
Successful individual members are profiled for Mudra Yojana loans for micro-enterprise expansion

By the Numbers

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Metric	NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN SHG Program
SHGs Supported	Active in 10+ clusters
Women Reached	500+ directly
Average Savings per SHG	₹38,000+ per annum
Credit Linkage Rate	72% of Grade A SHGs

Beyond Money: The Social Dividend

Economic empowerment is inseparable from social empowerment. Women who control their own income are:

3× more likely to invest in their children's education (ICRW, 2023)
Significantly less likely to tolerate domestic violence
More likely to participate in Gram Sabha meetings and hold elected office

This is why ** NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN views SHG formation not as a livelihood intervention but as the foundation of comprehensive community transformation.**

Two Crises, One Root Cause

Our Integrated Approach

Nutrition

Supplementary Nutrition Distribution (SND): Monthly take-home rations for children 6 months–6 years and pregnant/lactating mothers in targeted clusters
Growth Monitoring: MUAC (Mid-Upper Arm Circumference) measurements at community health camps — children flagged as SAM (Severely Acute Malnourished) referred to NRC (Nutrition Rehabilitation Centres)
Behavioural Change Communication (BCC): Cooking demonstrations, kitchen garden promotion, and myth-busting around traditional feeding practices

Education

Learning Enhancement Camps (LECs): After-school remedial programs for children who have fallen behind, especially post-COVID
School Enrolment Drives: House-to-house surveys to identify out-of-school children and facilitate RTE Section 12(1)(c) admissions in private schools
Teacher Sensitisation: Training of community teachers in joyful learning methodologies aligned with NEP 2020

The School-Community Interface

Perhaps our most important innovation is the School Health & Nutrition Monitoring Committee (SHNMC) — a parent-teacher body that we help constitute at each partner school. This committee:

Monitors PM POSHAN meal quality and quantity
Tracks absenteeism and flags children who drop out
Conducts termly health screenings with support from our field health team

A Model That Works

This is not a development project. This is a functional financial ecosystem built at the grassroots.

What NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN Does Differently

Many organisations form SHGs and walk away. Our model is different:

Formation & Training (Months 1–3)

Identify homogeneous groups of 10–15 women from similar socio-economic backgrounds
Conduct financial literacy training: savings, interest calculation, record-keeping
Link groups to the nearest bank branch for savings accounts under the SHG-Bank Linkage Programme

Incubation & Monitoring (Months 4–18)

Monthly field visits by trained field workers to review books and resolve disputes
Formal grading system — NABARD's "Grade A/B" SHG classification — to unlock credit
Market linkage workshops connecting SHGs to AGMARKNET and district-level FPOs

Graduation & Peer Mentorship (Month 19+)

Mature SHGs become "Mentor SHGs" that train newly formed groups
Successful individual members are profiled for Mudra Yojana loans for micro-enterprise expansion

Metric	NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN SHG Program
SHGs Supported	Active in 10+ clusters
Women Reached	500+ directly
Average Savings per SHG	₹38,000+ per annum
Credit Linkage Rate	72% of Grade A SHGs

Beyond Money: The Social Dividend

Economic empowerment is inseparable from social empowerment. Women who control their own income are:

3× more likely to invest in their children's education (ICRW, 2023)
Significantly less likely to tolerate domestic violence
More likely to participate in Gram Sabha meetings and hold elected office

This is why ** NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN views SHG formation not as a livelihood intervention but as the foundation of comprehensive community transformation.**

Two Crises, One Root Cause

Our Integrated Approach

Nutrition

Supplementary Nutrition Distribution (SND): Monthly take-home rations for children 6 months–6 years and pregnant/lactating mothers in targeted clusters
Growth Monitoring: MUAC (Mid-Upper Arm Circumference) measurements at community health camps — children flagged as SAM (Severely Acute Malnourished) referred to NRC (Nutrition Rehabilitation Centres)
Behavioural Change Communication (BCC): Cooking demonstrations, kitchen garden promotion, and myth-busting around traditional feeding practices

Education

Learning Enhancement Camps (LECs): After-school remedial programs for children who have fallen behind, especially post-COVID
School Enrolment Drives: House-to-house surveys to identify out-of-school children and facilitate RTE Section 12(1)(c) admissions in private schools
Teacher Sensitisation: Training of community teachers in joyful learning methodologies aligned with NEP 2020

The School-Community Interface

Perhaps our most important innovation is the School Health & Nutrition Monitoring Committee (SHNMC) — a parent-teacher body that we help constitute at each partner school. This committee:

Monitors PM POSHAN meal quality and quantity
Tracks absenteeism and flags children who drop out
Conducts termly health screenings with support from our field health team

In schools where SHNMCs are active, PM POSHAN complaint rates have dropped by 41% and enrolment retention rates have improved by 18 percentage points.

Two Crises, One Root Cause

Our Integrated Approach

Nutrition

Supplementary Nutrition Distribution (SND): Monthly take-home rations for children 6 months–6 years and pregnant/lactating mothers in targeted clusters
Growth Monitoring: MUAC (Mid-Upper Arm Circumference) measurements at community health camps — children flagged as SAM (Severely Acute Malnourished) referred to NRC (Nutrition Rehabilitation Centres)
Behavioural Change Communication (BCC): Cooking demonstrations, kitchen garden promotion, and myth-busting around traditional feeding practices

Education

Learning Enhancement Camps (LECs): After-school remedial programs for children who have fallen behind, especially post-COVID
School Enrolment Drives: House-to-house surveys to identify out-of-school children and facilitate RTE Section 12(1)(c) admissions in private schools
Teacher Sensitisation: Training of community teachers in joyful learning methodologies aligned with NEP 2020

The School-Community Interface

Perhaps our most important innovation is the School Health & Nutrition Monitoring Committee (SHNMC) — a parent-teacher body that we help constitute at each partner school. This committee:

Monitors PM POSHAN meal quality and quantity
Tracks absenteeism and flags children who drop out
Conducts termly health screenings with support from our field health team

In schools where SHNMCs are active, PM POSHAN complaint rates have dropped by 41% and enrolment retention rates have improved by 18 percentage points.

A Model That Works

This is not a development project. This is a functional financial ecosystem built at the grassroots.

What NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN Does Differently

Many organisations form SHGs and walk away. Our model is different:

Formation & Training (Months 1–3)

Identify homogeneous groups of 10–15 women from similar socio-economic backgrounds
Conduct financial literacy training: savings, interest calculation, record-keeping
Link groups to the nearest bank branch for savings accounts under the SHG-Bank Linkage Programme

Incubation & Monitoring (Months 4–18)

Monthly field visits by trained field workers to review books and resolve disputes
Formal grading system — NABARD's "Grade A/B" SHG classification — to unlock credit
Market linkage workshops connecting SHGs to AGMARKNET and district-level FPOs

Graduation & Peer Mentorship (Month 19+)

Mature SHGs become "Mentor SHGs" that train newly formed groups
Successful individual members are profiled for Mudra Yojana loans for micro-enterprise expansion

By the Numbers

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Metric	NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN SHG Program
SHGs Supported	Active in 10+ clusters
Women Reached	500+ directly
Average Savings per SHG	₹38,000+ per annum
Credit Linkage Rate	72% of Grade A SHGs

Beyond Money: The Social Dividend

Economic empowerment is inseparable from social empowerment. Women who control their own income are:

3× more likely to invest in their children's education (ICRW, 2023)
Significantly less likely to tolerate domestic violence
More likely to participate in Gram Sabha meetings and hold elected office

This is why ** NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN views SHG formation not as a livelihood intervention but as the foundation of comprehensive community transformation.**

Two Crises, One Root Cause

Our Integrated Approach

Nutrition

Supplementary Nutrition Distribution (SND): Monthly take-home rations for children 6 months–6 years and pregnant/lactating mothers in targeted clusters
Growth Monitoring: MUAC (Mid-Upper Arm Circumference) measurements at community health camps — children flagged as SAM (Severely Acute Malnourished) referred to NRC (Nutrition Rehabilitation Centres)
Behavioural Change Communication (BCC): Cooking demonstrations, kitchen garden promotion, and myth-busting around traditional feeding practices

Education

Learning Enhancement Camps (LECs): After-school remedial programs for children who have fallen behind, especially post-COVID
School Enrolment Drives: House-to-house surveys to identify out-of-school children and facilitate RTE Section 12(1)(c) admissions in private schools
Teacher Sensitisation: Training of community teachers in joyful learning methodologies aligned with NEP 2020

The School-Community Interface

Perhaps our most important innovation is the School Health & Nutrition Monitoring Committee (SHNMC) — a parent-teacher body that we help constitute at each partner school. This committee:

Monitors PM POSHAN meal quality and quantity
Tracks absenteeism and flags children who drop out
Conducts termly health screenings with support from our field health team

In schools where SHNMCs are active, PM POSHAN complaint rates have dropped by 41% and enrolment retention rates have improved by 18 percentage points.

A Model That Works

This is not a development project. This is a functional financial ecosystem built at the grassroots.

What NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN Does Differently

Many organisations form SHGs and walk away. Our model is different:

Formation & Training (Months 1–3)

Identify homogeneous groups of 10–15 women from similar socio-economic backgrounds
Conduct financial literacy training: savings, interest calculation, record-keeping
Link groups to the nearest bank branch for savings accounts under the SHG-Bank Linkage Programme

Incubation & Monitoring (Months 4–18)

Monthly field visits by trained field workers to review books and resolve disputes
Formal grading system — NABARD's "Grade A/B" SHG classification — to unlock credit
Market linkage workshops connecting SHGs to AGMARKNET and district-level FPOs

Graduation & Peer Mentorship (Month 19+)

Mature SHGs become "Mentor SHGs" that train newly formed groups
Successful individual members are profiled for Mudra Yojana loans for micro-enterprise expansion

By the Numbers

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Metric	NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN SHG Program
SHGs Supported	Active in 10+ clusters
Women Reached	500+ directly
Average Savings per SHG	₹38,000+ per annum
Credit Linkage Rate	72% of Grade A SHGs

Beyond Money: The Social Dividend

Economic empowerment is inseparable from social empowerment. Women who control their own income are:

3× more likely to invest in their children's education (ICRW, 2023)
Significantly less likely to tolerate domestic violence
More likely to participate in Gram Sabha meetings and hold elected office

This is why ** NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN views SHG formation not as a livelihood intervention but as the foundation of comprehensive community transformation.**

Two Crises, One Root Cause

Our Integrated Approach

Nutrition

Supplementary Nutrition Distribution (SND): Monthly take-home rations for children 6 months–6 years and pregnant/lactating mothers in targeted clusters
Growth Monitoring: MUAC (Mid-Upper Arm Circumference) measurements at community health camps — children flagged as SAM (Severely Acute Malnourished) referred to NRC (Nutrition Rehabilitation Centres)
Behavioural Change Communication (BCC): Cooking demonstrations, kitchen garden promotion, and myth-busting around traditional feeding practices

Education

Learning Enhancement Camps (LECs): After-school remedial programs for children who have fallen behind, especially post-COVID
School Enrolment Drives: House-to-house surveys to identify out-of-school children and facilitate RTE Section 12(1)(c) admissions in private schools
Teacher Sensitisation: Training of community teachers in joyful learning methodologies aligned with NEP 2020

The School-Community Interface

Perhaps our most important innovation is the School Health & Nutrition Monitoring Committee (SHNMC) — a parent-teacher body that we help constitute at each partner school. This committee:

Monitors PM POSHAN meal quality and quantity
Tracks absenteeism and flags children who drop out
Conducts termly health screenings with support from our field health team

In schools where SHNMCs are active, PM POSHAN complaint rates have dropped by 41% and enrolment retention rates have improved by 18 percentage points.

A Model That Works

This is not a development project. This is a functional financial ecosystem built at the grassroots.

What NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN Does Differently

Many organisations form SHGs and walk away. Our model is different:

Formation & Training (Months 1–3)

Identify homogeneous groups of 10–15 women from similar socio-economic backgrounds
Conduct financial literacy training: savings, interest calculation, record-keeping
Link groups to the nearest bank branch for savings accounts under the SHG-Bank Linkage Programme

Incubation & Monitoring (Months 4–18)

Monthly field visits by trained field workers to review books and resolve disputes
Formal grading system — NABARD's "Grade A/B" SHG classification — to unlock credit
Market linkage workshops connecting SHGs to AGMARKNET and district-level FPOs

Graduation & Peer Mentorship (Month 19+)

Mature SHGs become "Mentor SHGs" that train newly formed groups
Successful individual members are profiled for Mudra Yojana loans for micro-enterprise expansion

By the Numbers

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Metric	NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN SHG Program
SHGs Supported	Active in 10+ clusters
Women Reached	500+ directly
Average Savings per SHG	₹38,000+ per annum
Credit Linkage Rate	72% of Grade A SHGs

Beyond Money: The Social Dividend

Economic empowerment is inseparable from social empowerment. Women who control their own income are:

3× more likely to invest in their children's education (ICRW, 2023)
Significantly less likely to tolerate domestic violence
More likely to participate in Gram Sabha meetings and hold elected office

This is why ** NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN views SHG formation not as a livelihood intervention but as the foundation of comprehensive community transformation.**

Two Crises, One Root Cause

Our Integrated Approach

Nutrition

Supplementary Nutrition Distribution (SND): Monthly take-home rations for children 6 months–6 years and pregnant/lactating mothers in targeted clusters
Growth Monitoring: MUAC (Mid-Upper Arm Circumference) measurements at community health camps — children flagged as SAM (Severely Acute Malnourished) referred to NRC (Nutrition Rehabilitation Centres)
Behavioural Change Communication (BCC): Cooking demonstrations, kitchen garden promotion, and myth-busting around traditional feeding practices

Education

Learning Enhancement Camps (LECs): After-school remedial programs for children who have fallen behind, especially post-COVID
School Enrolment Drives: House-to-house surveys to identify out-of-school children and facilitate RTE Section 12(1)(c) admissions in private schools
Teacher Sensitisation: Training of community teachers in joyful learning methodologies aligned with NEP 2020

The School-Community Interface

Perhaps our most important innovation is the School Health & Nutrition Monitoring Committee (SHNMC) — a parent-teacher body that we help constitute at each partner school. This committee:

Monitors PM POSHAN meal quality and quantity
Tracks absenteeism and flags children who drop out
Conducts termly health screenings with support from our field health team

In schools where SHNMCs are active, PM POSHAN complaint rates have dropped by 41% and enrolment retention rates have improved by 18 percentage points.

A Model That Works

This is not a development project. This is a functional financial ecosystem built at the grassroots.

What NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN Does Differently

Many organisations form SHGs and walk away. Our model is different:

Formation & Training (Months 1–3)

Identify homogeneous groups of 10–15 women from similar socio-economic backgrounds
Conduct financial literacy training: savings, interest calculation, record-keeping
Link groups to the nearest bank branch for savings accounts under the SHG-Bank Linkage Programme

Incubation & Monitoring (Months 4–18)

Monthly field visits by trained field workers to review books and resolve disputes
Formal grading system — NABARD's "Grade A/B" SHG classification — to unlock credit
Market linkage workshops connecting SHGs to AGMARKNET and district-level FPOs

Graduation & Peer Mentorship (Month 19+)

Mature SHGs become "Mentor SHGs" that train newly formed groups
Successful individual members are profiled for Mudra Yojana loans for micro-enterprise expansion

By the Numbers

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Metric	NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN SHG Program
SHGs Supported	Active in 10+ clusters
Women Reached	500+ directly
Average Savings per SHG	₹38,000+ per annum
Credit Linkage Rate	72% of Grade A SHGs

Beyond Money: The Social Dividend

Economic empowerment is inseparable from social empowerment. Women who control their own income are:

3× more likely to invest in their children's education (ICRW, 2023)
Significantly less likely to tolerate domestic violence
More likely to participate in Gram Sabha meetings and hold elected office

This is why ** NITISH JAN KALYAN SHIKSHA & ANATHAALAY SEVA SANSTHAN views SHG formation not as a livelihood intervention but as the foundation of comprehensive community transformation.**
