Fascinating details about the connection between IDRF and Akhil Bhartiya Vanvasi Kalyan Ashram (ABVKA).
Dr. Prakash provided interesting insights into how India’s first Home Minister, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, took the initiative to empower the marginalized tribal communities and to further this noble cause and extend charitable assistance to these communities in Madhya Pradesh, Akhil Bhartiya Vanvasi Kalyan Ashram (ABVKA) was established.
The ABVKA stands out by focusing on two pivotal aspects. Firstly, it endeavors to educate underprivileged tribal communities about modern developments while still ensuring the preservation of their cultural heritage. Secondly, IDRF's valuable support has empowered this NGO to provide impactful programs for the upliftment of those they serve.
IDRF provides unwavering support to this dedicated NGO that tirelessly works to fortify marginalized tribal communities. This organization not only ensures their basic needs such as food, medication, and healthcare are met but also empowers them by educating them about the various government schemes like public distribution systems and others available to improve their lives. Moreover, they conduct regular medical camps and health programs to prioritize the well-being of the deprived people.
In line with its mission, ABVKA aims to deliver quality education to underprivileged children, providing them with medical assistance and essential nourishment. Today, ABVKA has successfully expanded its operations across India and is now capable of raising funds through corporate social responsibility initiatives.
It is important to acknowledge that the work undertaken by ABVKA with the support of IDRF is not as simple as it may appear. Training and educating the tribal people, also known as Vanvasi, requires immense dedication and perseverance. What sets ABVKA apart is that many tribal individuals are working today in this NGO, an extraordinary example of self-empowerment. While they were initially compensated and provided with training, it took several decades to cultivate their knowledge and skills. This awe-inspiring success story owes its triumph to the visionary efforts and timely intervention of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, along with the steadfast initiative of ABVKA and its partnership with IDRF.
