Sikar District of Rajasthan, where our community development interventions are organized, is known as the “Door to the Thar Desert” and experiences extremes in climate, with an arid summer and intensely cold winters. The situation is alarming due to the high groundwater extraction level, and most of the blocks have been declared as the dark zone. Jamnalalji Bajaj was born in Kashi-Ka-Bas, a village in Sikar district. He dedicated his entire life to the nation and society. The Bajaj Foundation is working towards introducing sustainable development interventions to develop natural resources, sustainable agriculture, and better livelihood opportunities.

“The journey from survival stage to self-reliant stage is
not very easy. There are many chances to again come
in to the debt trap and hence in the vicious cycle of poverty.
Thus, a complete livelihood plan for the poor family is
essential. And India has tremendous potential to not just
develop a holistic one but also implement it successfully.”
