Introduction to MVSD Project

Sabuj Sangha has been active in human development initiatives for over three decades in this region. It initiated the MVSD Project in November 2003 and its continuing with its activities in order to achieve the defined goal and objectives.
 

The Project started with the survey of the village in the field of education and health, the findings were striking and it was observed that plenty of work has remain to be done as the operational area of Sabuj Sangha was far behind on an average minimum need. The distribution need for the tube well for drinking water was not sufficient, proper shelter was not there, there was no health unit or any professional doctors available. The schools were over burden due to lack of it. The drinking and Sanitation facilities was not proper in the school basically for the girl students and moreover the concept of “Personal Toilet” was absent as the families did not have access to it.

So with the concept of gradually turning each village into a Model village to improve the standard of Health and Education but gradually it felt that the new livelihood options for the poor has to be introduced. Construction of low cost housing has to be done for the poorest of the poor people and the security facilities for their economic development were also to b introduced. So for the betterment of the community Sabuj Sangha with the support of GOAL in this project ensured new scheme under which, tube well has been installed, shelter has been constructed, livelihood and Sanitation facilities were introduced. Hospital has been constructed to stop the health hazards for the people. For the betterment in the field of education, schools, non residential camps, bridge course centers were introduced to scale new heights of education for the young generation to follow.

The project now covers 85,678 people living in 24 villages across 4 Gram Panchayats in two blocks of South 24 Paraganas.
