Seva Mandir

Seva Mandir develops water harvesting systems to increase the availability of water for agriculture and clean drinking water for communities.[11] Furthermore, the organisation works on regenerating common land. The majority of the rural and tribal communities depend on the common land for their survival.[12] More than 120 million trees have been planted in an effort to combat climate change.[13]

Seva Mandir run Self-Help Groups,[14] Women's Resource Centres and a shelter home for women who have faced physical and/or mental abuse.[15][16]

Seva Mandir runs over 140 Shiksha Kendra (bridge schools) in remote rural areas. Shiksha Kendras use an activity-based learning method to teach previously out-of-school children aged between 6–14 years old. A Residential Learning Camp is also run for the same age range.[17][18][19]

Youth Resource Centres are run to connect often left-behind adolescent boys and girls with vocational, life and social skills trainings. A football initiative is used to link the young people in rural and tribal communities with the resource centres.[20][21]

Seva Mandir works in 2 peri-urban areas; Delwara and Kelwara, the latter or which is near Kumbhalgarh fort. The organisation works on issues of governance, water availability, waste management, and heritage restoration.[22][23][24] A community and heritage walk is also run in Delwara for tourists.[25]

Seva Mandir creates and facilitates Community Institutions in rural and tribal communities. It is mandated that these institutions are democratically elected and have an equal representation of men, women, and children. Their aim is to take responsibility for their own development and sustain projects after Seva Mandir steps back.[26][27]
