Manav Vikas is a non-profit, non-political grassroots voluntary organization founded on 16th July 1994 in Hazaribag, Jharkhand. Although the region is rich in natural resources, a large section of the population lives below the poverty line due to illiteracy, superstition, exploitation by middlemen, and recurring droughts.

​

Manav Vikas was established to empower marginalized communities and help them raise their voices against exploitation, corruption, violence, and human rights violations. The organization focuses on enhancing awareness for better resource management and enabling self-reliance among the under-served. We are legally registered under the Society Registration Act XXI of 1860, the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA), and sections 12A & 80G of the Income Tax Act.

​

With over 30 years of dedicated service, Manav Vikas works towards the upliftment of Tribal Communities, Children, Adolescent Girls, Person with Disabilities, and Marginalized Women through Sustainable and Community-Driven Initiatives. Our participatory approach ensures that 90% of our beneficiaries are women and persons with disability, fostering long-term impact and self-sufficiency.

​

Through programs focused on Disability, Education, Health, Livelihood Promotion, Gender Awareness, and Human Rights, Manav Vikas remains committed to building a just and equitable society in remote tribal villages of Jharkhand.
