Janhit Foundation
Janhit Foundation is an independent, not-for-profit non-governmental organization, actively engaged in the promotion of human welfare through environmental protection since 1998.
Key areas of work include:
Groundwater quality protection for human health
Provision of safe drinking water to marginalized communities
Protection of river water quality for aquatic ecosystems
Enhancement of available water resources through water conservation measures
Promotion of sustainable agriculture by organic farming methods
Environmental education and empowerment of local communities
Janhit Foundation undertakes this work through scientific research, campaigns, advocacy and grass-root level community involvement.
Janhit Foundation's success story of Daurala has found place in the school curriculum for class XII students. The National Council for Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has published the case study of Daurala for which Janhit Foundation has been working for the past 5 years, in the book entitled "India, People and Economy". The school students across the country would know more about these grassroot initiatives in the class itself and would also become familiar of grassroot work done by the civil society organisations.
As a public interest organization, Janhit Foundation focuses on strengthening local communities through their active participation in decision making, to achieve sustainable development. We believe that environmental degradation can only be addressed adequately if local people are empowered in decision making at all levels and have control over resources.
To achieve our goals, we work in partnership with government, non-governmental, national and international organisations on environment and human rights issues.
