SEVA's Health and Sustainability Programs

In 2010, SEVA launched a research program focused on equality and sustainability in the government health system, with financial support from Memisa, Belgium. Supervised by the West Bengal Voluntary Health Association, the program aimed to improve healthcare access and quality in rural areas. SEVA organized a series of training sessions for health functionaries to enhance the quality of health services in villages.

Additionally, SEVA, in coordination with community members, formed Adolescent Groups, Geriatric Groups, and Self-Help Groups (SHGs), empowering individuals to take charge of their health and well-being. The creation of Health Funds also made a significant impact on the community, providing necessary resources for health-related initiatives.

SEVA’s commitment to sanitation led to the construction of community toilets in rural villages, beginning in the 1980s and continuing as part of the Swachh Bharat Mission in 2014-15, improving hygiene and public health in these areas.
