Swanirvar started work in 5 villages in the North 24 Parganas district
near Calcutta in December 1989. It has always been guided by the
philosophy that while development is primarily concerned with people, it
must involve the indigenous people of that region. Towards that goal, it
started with developing the following broad areas:
- Education and Health
- Organization, Leadership, and Planning
- Appropriate Rural Technology
- Savings and Income Generation
- Agriculture
Over the years, its work has spread to 58 villages in 4 blocks
(Baduria, Deganga, Swarupnagar, and Basirhat 1) of North 24 Parganas
distict, and in additional districts of West Bengal. It was recently nominated to be the District Technical
Agency (DTA) to help the government deliver its large scale poverty
alleviation program -
SWARNAJAYANTI GRAM SWAROZGAR YOJANA (SGSY). Please click on the
