Our Venture
Core values that drive this process are Social and Gender Equity and Sustainability. Institutional and methodological features aligned with these core values are as follows:Social Equity
Representation of all sections of the community in decision-making processes across caste, class, religion and other societal barriers.
Gender Equity
Equal representation and participation of men and women in community-level decision-making and control. Women partake alongside men in articulating concerns, take responsibility and actively participate in development processes for both family and society.
Sustainability
Development processes are based on sound environmental values and necessarily have built-in institutional and financial mechanisms to sustain beyond the life of the project. S.K.A.V.S.’ responses are context-specific, based on the needs and priorities of the communities we engage with. Given the diverse social and economic situation of the communities, the relative importance of the sectors varies across regions and communities. The interventions are based on a combination of the following areas:
o Community Mobilization
o Skilled Upgradation Program
o Women Empowerment
o All types of IEC Activity
o Natural Resource Management
o Livelihood and Sustainable Development
o Education & Human Resource Development
o Health AND Awareness Generation
