Jivan Tirth is a voluntary organization based at Juna Koba, Gandhinagar, registered as a trust during 1997 by fulltime social workers, working since 1985 under the banner of "Prayog" - An Experiment. Jivan Tirth believes that life is the most valuable possession of human beings. The objective of Jivan Tirth is to create citizens who pine for and live life in its true sense.
Work Description
JivanTirth's vision is to make efforts so that every citizen of the future generation dares to think independently and live a meaningful life, and becomes a global citizen by nurturing local culture and heritage and letting down the barriers between individuals. They become healthy, knowledgeble, wise and live with joy, love and understanding.
JivanTirth works through a four fold programme including children, adolescents, environment and village development issues. "Anandotsav" programme provides opportunities for growth to children. Friendship with adolescents helps to create global perspective and develop creative approaches. Reverence for life is the foundation for environmental activism. Self governance in villages is enabled through self leadership development of rural youth.
JivanTirth also plays an active role in human rights, social justice and displacement related issues. Trustees and workers of JivanTirth consider themselves as life long learners, believing in education through life and education throughout life. They consider JivanTirth as "School for life lovers" - "Jivan Premio ki shala", and its mission to spread joy, love and understanding.
JivanTirth works in a modest way and generally does not accept government or foreign funds. JivanTirth welcomes support from friends, well-wishers and other trusts.
