For over decade and a half Parivartan has been actively partnering with communities and like-minded organizations for establishment of fundamental human rights and bringing forward participatory development models for economic as well as social development.
All of Parivartan's work is framed by our commitment to seven broad aims: Women Empowerment, Techno-Economic Rural Development, Strengthening Citizen Leadership, Natural Resource Management, Natural Disaster - Risk Reduction & Mitigation, Response to Climate Change Issues and State & Regional Level Advocacy.
Parivartan focuses on following seven goals:
Women Empowerment
Parivartan works intensively with women on its belief that sustainable development remains incomplete without active participation of the women. Parivartan's interventions form a reliable source of knowledge, information, skills and absolute energy to the women in governance. Along with Panchayat Raj trainings and leadership development workshops, village level actions & hand holding support remained our major thrust areas. Starting with a small village level support structures like SHGs, women leaders have made their journey up to a well-structured block level federations.

Responce to Climate Change Issues
Parivartan has worked on raising awareness about climate change issues with elected women in Gram Panchayats and civil society. The efforts aimed at building the capacities of the elected women leaders to understand climate change issues and its impact in their own villages.

Advocacy
Parivartan has undertaken issue based advocacy efforts at block, district and state level. Initiating positive actions to resolve the issues is a primary agenda for Parivartan. Instead of advocating the issue on behalf of people, we believe that it should become a part of People Organizations' (POs') plan of action. Parivartan has played a catalyst role in stimulating mass support, experts' advice and alliance building for the PO's efforts on issue based activities.
