Pradeepan

Securing forest land ownership and livelihoods for tribal women.

About

Pradeepan, founded in 1994 in Betul, strives to uplift the underprivileged sections of society (women, children, tribal population) through a community empowerment approach. Over the past 28 years, its impact has grown exponentially among the tribals. It is also working towards building grassroot cognizance about government schemes and has collaborated with various government(al) stakeholders for the same. Through the Meri Mitti Challenge, Pradeepan aims to tackle the problem of landlessness of women resulting from a lack of formal records of ancestral lands, low levels of literacy, poverty, lack of technical and leadership skills.
