” MORAL VALUE EDUCATION WORKSHOPS “
Yuva Rural Association (YRA) is a Voluntary Sector Organization working with the mission to support and facilitate the needy, poor and marginalized people to make them harness equal opportunities and participate equally, aiming “No one leave Behind”. Since more than two decades YRA has worked extensively playing multiple roles like policy advocates, movement amplifier, research agency, and facilitators. We facilitate the development process through sustainable livelihood promotion from a broad perspective, with an integrated approach focusing on women, youth, children, Dalits, landless, small and marginal farmers, people living below the poverty line and with differently abled people. We could bring positive changes in the lives of lakhs of people from Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat & Maharashtra since the inception till date. We follow five strong core values like Social Justice, Gender Justice, Ecological Justice, Democracy & Secularism, and Honesty & Integrity.
We are a team of 54 committed social change makers and 340 volunteers having current interventions in 1200 villages from 8 districts of Vidarbha region. In 2011-2012, YRA implemented the value and quality education program of the HRD Ministry of Government of India in 8 districts of Vidarbha within the youth. (Value Education for Reconstruction of Rural Processes)
With the objective of quality education YRA has pioneered Child Parliament in all the ZP schools in the blocks and districts of interventions as a common agenda. Due to our intervention we could stop 490 girls from dropping out of schools and provide access to clean sanitation facilities to 2700 students.
We have realized that along with physical well being the mental health of these children is also equally important thus we have developed programs to impart Value Education to the school children by fulfilling their emotional & spiritual needs to foster their well being.
