We as a social Organisation mainly focuses on Livelihood improvement of the people and hence we belief that for all around development the following sectors should be given equal importance.
As SEWA is an organization for the poor and vulnerable class of the society we focus on giving them work security, income security, and food security including health care, childcare and shelter. Helping people to achieve goals of full employment and self-reliance through the strategy of struggle and development. Our main focus is to improve the livelihood condition of the vulnerable class of the society. Some of the worth mentioning programs undertaken by us for the socio economic upliftment of the people are:
Education and Culture is interrelated with social upbringing and we at SEWA strictly adhere to those roots of the society. SEWA has so far organized several awareness camps on productive activities for the people of rural and semi-urban areas and helping youths and women to start up an alternate livelihood through setting up of micro & small enterprises .Various plantation and cultural and environmental awareness programs on carbon emission and global warming that are carried out at different schools and colleges are our frequent occurrence. SEWA introduced internship programs for the students. Hundreds of Students of top educational institutions of the country attended our Internship program till date. Some of the major programs in this field undertaken by SEWA are:
Being in the 21st century, progressive learning is the only key to survive resourcefully. Keeping that in mind we always have an active R&D wing. Some of our research and development work includes Mobile and Web applications, growth of Micro industry and their problems in Rural areas, Plastic and their adverse effect on environment, Community studies and their alternate ways of livelihood. Also some of our research work waiting for publication in some of the leading online Journals. Besides we have designed various products like bamboo water bottle, bamboo furniture’s and crafts, Thermal efficient Biomass cook stoves etc. either in collaboration or single handedly. Also we are the surveying and implementing partner for various organizations on forestry, greenhouse gas effect, carbon emission, solar energy and alternative biomass fuel generation. Highlight projects undertaken by SEWA in this field are:
North Eastern part of the country is our prime area of operation. As this part has very rich vegetative growth, people are depends on agriculture. So, we mainly focus on development of Agro-industries along with innovative and commercially viable agricultural practices. We are providing training and guidance to the youths and we are successful to some extent to create a good number of farmers growing tea, varieties of rice, nuts, organic vegetables and bamboo. Besides this, we are able to help a lot of rural Youths to generate revenue through Cow rearing and dairy products, Goat rearing, Piggery, Fishery and Integrated farming programs. We provide training and introduce the local youths with the new techniques and process to earn more in less time and effort. Till date we provide series of trainings in different districts of Assam on Agriculture and farming. Highlight projects in this sector Organized by SEWA are:
Besides above mentioned sectors we are working on bamboo plantation and bamboo products development also. We are into massive bamboo plantation and management covering an area of more 8,720 Bighas primarily for generating Bio-fuel from Bamboo in collaboration with leading Petroleum oil based PSU of India. We are also working with various bamboo based organization for bamboo policy frame work and value addition of bamboo and bamboo-based industry. We along with a handful of bamboo Craftsmen of our locality have developed and designed various bamboo products and furniture which are getting an increasing demand day by day. Those include Bamboo-shoot and bamboo Vinegar: lightweight, decorated, foldable bamboo furniture; Drinking Water Bottle of Bamboo, Music amplifier, Straws, decorative items, Bamboo Charcoal and Briquetting etc. Some major programs undertaken by SEWA in this sector are:
Last but not the least, how can we not be grateful to our mother nature. Owing to which environment awareness camps, cleanliness drives and plantation programs are a common occurrence from time to time. We are happy to mention that, SEWA is the care taker of a vast forest land covering an area 46,250 Bighas at Singloo Pathar under Abhaipur Reserve Forest of Charaideo District, Assam, where we are currently conducting Our Bamboo Forest Management Program. We are really aware of the alarming rates of Carbon emission by 6 Green House Gases and its adverse effects on environment. So we are currently focusing on project based UN’s KYOTO Protocol which has established binding greenhouse gas emissions reduction targets for 37 industrialized countries and the European community. To help achieve these targets, the protocol introduced three "flexible mechanisms" – international emissions trading (IET), joint implementation (JI), and the clean development Mechanism (CDM). Among them, CDM has arguably been the most successful of the three flexible mechanisms and are already exercising two such projects in collaboration with an US based Organisation. One of such projects is named “SHINE” where we are distributing LED bulbs in exchange of Incandescent Lights Bulbs where later one is disposed to obtain CER’s (Certified Emission Reduction). Another one is a newly developed biomass cook stove which has much higher thermal efficiency than the traditional cook stoves by utilizing very less fossil fuel. This two are CDM based program which are now in operation in Assam. Till now we have delivered this project to more than 1,21,000 (One Lakh Twenty One Thousand) participating households in seven districts of Assam. Besides we are also installing Solar Powered Street Lamps in various unelectrified areas where public movement is prominent. Other major projects undertaken by SEWA in this sector are:
