Welcome to Manavlok

MANAVLOK stands for “MArathwada NAVnirman LOKayat”, where "Marathwada", geographically, is the central part of Maharashtra", '‘NAVNIRMAN’ means “Recreation” and ‘LOKAYAT’ denotes “for the people by the people”. Thus, symbolizing recreating rural development for the rural people and with the support of rural people. MANAVLOK is a non-profit organization working for the betterment of less privileged people with a new idea or an experiment in integrated rural development, whereby villagers themselves are the focus of action and control. The organization is working in the sector of Watershed Development Program, Krushak Panchayat, Disaster Relief Services, Women Empowerment, Jansahayog, Social Work College, SHG's, Sanitation, Advocacy, and Monitoring & Evaluation of Govt. Programs as a holistic approach for integrated rural development.

VISION

MANAVLOK aims to solve the socio-economic problems of the community and provide a better life for them.

MISSION

MANAVLOK believes in developing collective local leadership and plays an integral part in mobilizing the local resources. Thus, providing the means for development rather than dolling out money to the poor. Through our participatory approach, we create a sense of ownership amongst the villagers by making them self-reliant and lead controller of their actions.

OBJECTIVES

To improve the socio-economic status of the rural people; empower women economically, socially, politically; improve health conditions, agricultural conditions, and education level of the region.


Our Journey

In the early 1970s, a socialist group of youth began seeking solutions to social and political problems of the rural community with the general aim of achieving harmony in the society. After nearly 20 years of effort and agitations, they concluded that socio-political change was not possible without economic change. With this point of view, Dr. Dwarkadas Lohiya popularly known as “Babuji” laid down the foundation of MANAVLOK, a voluntary organization, in 1982 for the socio-economic upliftment of the rural poor.
