About Us
Founders’ speak
COVID-19 and the turn of events brought about by it forced us to re-examine Mahatma Gandhi’s sage assertion that
“The future of India lives in her villages”.
The situation forced workers to return to rural areas. This reverse migration impacted our economy and wreaked havoc on millions of lives.
Years of progress got reversed as it impacted livelihoods, health, women empowerment, the education of the children of migrants and a huge number of vulnerable communities in a variety of ways, and its implications will be felt by the future generations as well.
Caught between the proverbial rock and a hard place, many of the returning worker got stuck in debt traps. To the worker who chose to stay in the city, there was entrapment of a different sort – no job and no dignity.
For India to grow and truly progress, we have to ensure that the rural sector of the country is empowered to make choices and transform their own lives.
With this aim, we launched Jal Agni Vayu Akash Bhoomi Foundation (JAVAB) – a Section 8 Company registered under Companies Act 2013, a Not For Profit initiative with a mission to empower rural lives through the 360-degree development model which encompasses the important thematic areas of Health & Nutrition, Education, Water, Sanitation and Economic Development.
Our aim is to build from the ground up. From the villages to the Block, to the District, and the State. Then replicate across India. Our aim is to minimize the huge disparities that exist between cities and villages and offer a superior quality of life to all her citizens.
Perhaps it is the present-day version of “Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan.” By empowering our villages and the local communities to be self- sufficient, collaborative for the collective good, and preserve our culture and values. To create a harmonious society of well -rounded youth who are healthy, productive and proud of their heritage and country. And all this, while being respectful of our environment and saving it for future generations.
