Chatrawaas (Hostel) is the most important project of Kalyan Ashram. Due to projects like Chatrawaas, thousands on young men and women give their time for upliftment of their own community. Along with education, this project helps in creating dedicated leadership. These Chatrawaas’ are power houses of the particular regions. Till date, thousands of alumni from Chatrawaas have done work for revival of their community in various fields.

Education is the root of development of any community. Absence of education is the main cause of lack of development in many tribal communities in India. To overcome this, Kalyan Ashram has opened educational projects like Schools, Baalwadi, Baal-Sanskar Kendra, Ekal Vidyalaya, Adult Education Centers, libraries. Along with education, providing ‘quality education’ is the main purpose of these projects.

Lack of healthcare facilities is a serious problem in tribal areas. With limited resources at Kalyan Ashram, we are trying our best to solve this problem. Projects such as weekly Medical camps, Health Centers, Kalyan Ashram has also appointed Arogya Rakshaks in villages who have basic knowledge of first aid and medicinal treatment.

The Gram Vikas project of Kalyan Ashram is established to empower the development in villages. For a nation to develop, not only its cities but also the villages should contribute in the progress. To make this possible, Kalyan Ashram has put an aim of total development of villages through its Gram Vikas projects.

A community that believes in its culture and traditions, is the only community that survives in odds. The tribal community has preserved our culture and traditions since many centuries. Kalyan Ashram has been working on preserving their spirit of through various activities like Satsangs, Bhajani Mandals.

In its development programmes, the Ashram has laid special emphasis on improving the economic condition of the Vanavasis so that they are not forced to sell their souls for bread. The Ashram approached the Vanavasis with understanding, sympathy and a feeling of oneness with them. While working for the educational, social, economic, cultural and spiritual development, the Ashram workers do not decry their culture, faiths, customs and way of living. On the contrary, they themselves respect these and also encourage the Vanavasis to take pride in these. The Vanavasis are hard-working people. But unfortunately the fruit of their labour is grabbed by others, land lords, money lenders and traders.

Simplicity and lack of education leads to the exploitation of the tribal community. To free them from this exploitation along with education there is a need for awakening for their rights in the tribal community. Keeping this in view Kalyan Ashram has started a new activity HITA-RAKSHA. Various rights of tribal community laws their benefits are told. They are to be made aware of their rights laws benefits by organising and empowering them. This is done by hita raksha activity. Various workshops, Awareness programs and exhibitions are arranged .If required agitations are done.

Though the focus of work of vanvasi kalyan ashram is in the tribal region,it also works and gets cooperation from urban areas. Hence kalyan ashram is active in various cities of the country,for this regular meetings, gatherings, workshop, visits to our projects are arranged. There are some misunderstandings about the tribal community amongst the urban society which are to be removed and at the same time for overall progress of the tribal community there has to be an awakening in the urban regions. Alongwith this for actual work going on in the tribal area fundraising, guidance from various experts and involving volunteers in the work is done by the urban committees of kalyan ashram.

For several problems which tend to endanger the basic existence of the tribal community ,the only solution is to fight against the government and the administration. Schedule tribe protection forum works in this direction. To develop leadership in s.t.community which will directly fight for their rights is the main purpose of this forum.

The folk art is indivisible part on any community. The fascination of western art and culture is a possible threat to the traditional folk art’s progress.

Original Indian culture, tradition can only be seen in the tribal community. The tribal community has protected their culture ,dance,traditions,songs,tales and stories various festivals with all their might.The main purpose of starting this forum is to keep these traditions and culture alive.

There are various organizations which are also working for the welfare and unity among the scheduled tribes.They may differ in their way of working but their sole aim is the all-round development of scheduled tribes.Through this activity we try to maintain good rapport with these organisations.
