Jatan Sansthan

JATAN SANSTHAN is a grassroots voluntary (not-for-profit) organization working with resource-poor and tribal communities in rural areas of southern Rajasthan, India, specifically in the districts of Rajsamand, Dungarpur, Jaipur, Udaipur, Barmer, Bhilwara, Sirohi, and Banswara. Jatan has a presence in over 6,000 villages throughout these regions, which have traditionally faced poor social indicators.

Since its establishment in 2001, Jatan has designed and implemented various initiatives geared towards improving social and demographic indicators by working with youth groups. In the last decade, Jatan has worked on programs related to children, young people and women in the areas of health and education.

Jatan in Hindi means an effort. It also means energy, striving, endeavour, diligence and perseverance.

Jatan’s logo reflects this, as youth reach out for the sun, the source of life.
