Birth of “Svaja” is a natural culmination of churning of thought and ideas over a long period of time among its promoters regarding how access to opportunities, resources, information, etc. are some of the key bottlenecks that obstructs pursuit of disadvantaged and marginalized sections in their efforts to achieve better income opportunities, and quality of life, and how they can overcome it. Svaja means “Self Born,” and in this context, it reflects passion of the promoters to contribute to human development, and nation building, by raising an entity that will attempt to address these challenges, through appropriate development interventions required in helping these communities, achieve it.
