Social Education for Women's Awareness - SEWA 30 Years journey
In the 90s, the state of Odisha faced extreme starvation, famine and human despair. These severe issues made an adverse impact on the community's livelihood and pushed them into the trap of migration. In this film, we are trying to showcase the journey of the SEWA organization which has been working on various social issues in three districts of Odisha including Jharsuguda, Sundargarh and Angul since 1991. In the last 30 years, SEWA has played an important role in enhancing the community's livelihood, empowering women, reducing the significant percentage of migration and making agriculture more viable for small and marginal farmers.
SEWA a non-profit, non-political, non-religious and non-government organization was established by the initiative of Mr. Sushil Kumar Dash, a founder member, with a group of committed activists. SEWA, as a Non-Governmental Development Organization, was registered in the year 1991-92 under Societies Registration Act XXI of 1860.
SEWA as a formal organization working in various development fields with disadvantaged segments of society. SEWA’s development activities focus principally on women and child development and the development of the their economies.
SEWA’s main focus is on livelihood, Natural Resource Management, Watershed Development, Sanitation & Hygiene Promotion, self governance and gender equity. Its aim is to therefore create an opportunity for these people to be included in a world that they have largely been left out from.
