Our Works

1. Empowering 1,000 Tribal Youth in Mokhada's Underserved Villages

Bosco Samajik Vikas Sanstha (BSVS), with the generous support of Manos Unidas, Spain, empowers 1,000 tribal youth every year across 36 hamlets in nine Gram Panchayats of Mokhada Taluka, Palghar District, Maharashtra. The programme promotes sustainable livelihoods by enhancing agricultural productivity through second-crop cultivation, encouraging agro-based and non-agro-based enterprises, and reducing seasonal migration. It also provides life skills, leadership training, and career guidance, enabling young people to become self-reliant, responsible leaders and active contributors to the holistic development of their communities.

2. Empowering 1,000 Tribal Youth in Jawhar Taluka to Prevent Migration and Foster Leadership

With the generous support of Manos Unidas, Spain, Bosco Samajik Vikas Sanstha (BSVS) empowers 1,000 underprivileged tribal youth every year in Jawhar Taluka through an integrated programme that combines sustainable livelihood promotion with youth leadership development. The initiative equips young people with skills in agriculture, agro-based enterprises, entrepreneurship, and income generation, helping families improve their livelihoods while reducing poverty and seasonal migration.

The programme also strengthens youth leadership by educating participants on the Panchayati Raj Act and the rights and entitlements under the Fifth and Sixth Schedule provisions, encouraging active participation in local governance and village development. By building economic self-reliance, leadership, and civic responsibility, the project is creating confident young leaders who are driving positive social and economic transformation in their communities.

3. Empowering Women Through Federations – A Pathway to Strength and Sustainability

With the generous support of the Isabel Martin Foundation, Spain, Bosco Samajik Vikas Sanstha (BSVS) is strengthening the economic and social empowerment of rural women by promoting 36 active Farmers' Producer Groups (FPGs). These groups have successfully established livelihood initiatives and small businesses that generate income and employment opportunities within their villages.

The programme focuses on building the capacity of FPGs through collective entrepreneurship, leadership development, and business management. By fostering collaboration among the groups and enhancing their marketing and sales skills, the initiative enables women to work together as a strong federation, improve market access, and increase the value of their products. Through collective action and sustainable enterprise, BSVS is empowering women to become financially independent, confident leaders, and key contributors to the socio-economic development of their communities.

4. Advancing Zero Budget Natural Farming and Fruit Tree Cultivation

With the generous support of the Isabel Martin Foundation, Spain, Bosco Samajik Vikas Sanstha (BSVS) has been promoting Zero Budget Natural Farming (ZBNF) and fruit tree cultivation among tribal farmers in Jawhar and Mokhada Talukas for the past years. The initiative encourages farmers to adopt sustainable, chemical-free farming practices that improve soil health, protect biodiversity, reduce cultivation costs, and enhance household incomes.

Through regular training, field demonstrations, and continuous technical support, BSVS has helped farmers embrace eco-friendly agriculture while building resilient livelihoods. To further strengthen farming communities, the programme is now focusing on improving water access for irrigation, enabling farmers to cultivate a second and even third crop each year. This initiative aims to ensure year-round agricultural productivity, enhance food security, and create sustainable sources of income for tribal farming families.

5. Supportive Education and Empowerment Program (SEEP)

With the generous support of Manos Unidas, Spain, the Supportive Education and Empowerment Program (SEEP) provides quality education and holistic development opportunities to children from marginalized tribal communities. Operating through village-based learning centres, the programme helps children achieve government-prescribed learning outcomes by offering academic support, remedial education, and activity-based learning, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to succeed in school.

Beyond academics, SEEP empowers children with life skills, child protection awareness, and knowledge of their rights, enabling them to recognize and prevent abuse. The programme also nurtures leadership by encouraging children to form action groups, participate in community initiatives, and engage with local government authorities on issues affecting their lives. Through education, empowerment, and active citizenship, SEEP is helping create confident, responsible, and compassionate young leaders for a brighter.
