Working for the empowerment of the poor and under privileged, with a special focus on women and children, Shramik Bharti facilitates and fosters people’s democratic institutions.
Committed to a human development approach, Shramik Bharti facilitates to enlarge people’s choices by assisting them in the development of their capabilities and preparing them to have better control over their lives.
Shramik Bharti is, therefore, a way of seeing and respecting people. Shramik Bharti’s programmes grow out of that respect and faith in the idea of a truly democratic society, free from exploitations.
-Shramik Bharti has long standing presence and rich experience of working on various development issues in Uttar Pradesh and recently we have started our interventions in Punjab.
-Shramik Bharti owns a core team of persons having excellence in different development streams, working as master trainers on Agriculture, Microfinance, WASH( water, sanitation and Hygiene), Maternal Health and Menstrual Health and Hygiene issues. In strong belief of developing and capacitating natural leaders from the marginalized section of society.
-Shramik Bharti has developed a large cadre of natural leaders (approx. 2000), presently working as volunteers.
-The Self Help Groups (SHGs ) promoted by Shramik Bharti have organized themselves into 6 self managed and self sustainable federations, having 20717 members.
Our chief challenge is gaining the trust of the communities and bringing behavioural changes. We work with marginalized communities who have been exploited by various vested interests so trust building is the first and foremost component of development work. Further their risk taking ability is negligible so making them shift to sustainable practices such as natural farming or use of renewable energy whose benefits are not immediately visible is challenging.
