‘Sankalp Jyoti’ is a non–political and non–profit making voluntary organization. This organization was formed by a group of social work and development professionals who were inspired by participatory and collective social actions and interventions. They first studied the socio-economic condition of the people followed by the regular interaction with the local office before chalking out need based interventions in the area of operation. The findings of the problems were so acute and intense that they could not be dealt in a shorter period of time without joint efforts. With this realization ‘Sankalp Jyoti’ originated in the year 2004 and was registered under the Society Registration Act.
