About Us
Mashal Social Welfare Society is a non political, non religious and non profit making tribal development organization founded by the tribal themselves for holistic empowerment of the tribal peoples in 1999. Society is registered under the society’s registration ACT XXI of 1860 No.S-52397 of 2005.
Since the tribal areas are cut off from mainstream and large numbers of tribal villages are in remote and inaccessible area where development efforts have not shown any impact, in this context, we the tribal people have decided to take up many development and welfare activities for empowering the tribal comprehensively. Especially in the areas of rural development, educational empowerment, infrastructure development in the tribal villages and also vocational guidance, job oriented training to tribal women who have already migrated to different cities nd towns in search of gainful employment and also to provide timely help for needy and un employed youth.
It is well known fact that developmental efforts and benefits are not reaching to the tribal areas, tribal people suffer with low literacy, extreme poverty, exploitation, deprivation and also many human right violations occurred among them. Therefore, there is a need to tackle these issues effectively by approaching Government of India and Human right National and International Organizations.
Education is a essential commodity for human empowerment that’s why we need to undertake educational programmed in the tribal areas. In fact, there is no quality school are available, even teachers are not ready to teach the tribal children; hence Voluntary efforts are more crucial for tribal education. Similarly health services are lacking in the tribal areas hence, we have to see the health delivery system function in the remote tribal areas.
Therefore, let’s unite and march towards the goal for empowering the tribal people. We apeal to everyone to help and support our endeavor.
Mashal social welfare society (M S W S) has been working in the Delhi and remotest areas of Jharkhand region since 1999 amongst the rural and tribal communities in Jharkhand. We are organizing and empowering the weakest sections of the population to obtain justice, peace and acquire human dignity and rights for overall development of the community. To this effect, M S W S IS WORKING IN CLOSE COOPERATION WITH Blocks, Panchayats (local government at village level) Rural Educational Institutions.
MSWS is campaigning to empower the TRIBAL people, especially women and children of the society, against EXPLOITATION such as money lenders, middlemen and from the effects of globalization. Domestic labor and daily wage earners especially the tribal women are our main concern, there is a need to rescue them and place them in denitrify job for sustained living. These tribal migratory women are the most vulnerable targets for abuse and oppression; they are denied the most basic of human rights. The MSWS team is comprised of 9 board members and many dedicated field and administrative members/ workers who work in coordination with community leaders. Our dedicated and committed team has initiative to form resistance movements and to oppose gross injustice prevalent in the rural and tribal areas and also in metropolitan cities like Delhi and Mumbai especially to fight for the right of domestic worker & daily wage earner.
