Jagruti Foundation for Rural Development has been established with the motto of reaching out to the below poverty line masses in Rural India by providing them with training and placement programs that help enhance their standard of living for the better. This foundation is a CSR initiative of the Pujari's Education Trust and commenced in August 2005. With the noble endeavors of few professionals, Jagruti sought to venture into addressing the core problems of Rural India – Poor health, lack of sanitation, illiteracy, unemployment, no proper accommodation, and child labor.
Jagruti Foundation has an effective and well coordinated team of professional volunteers, teachers and staff who are committed to work relentless towards improving the standard of living of those living in rural areas. Jagruti seeks to make a huge difference to the social and economic problems faced by the rural population of India with well monitored education system, training and placement programs, improved health and sanitation, advanced agricultural practices, environmental initiatives and social welfare programs for women empowerment. By developing a scalable institutional framework, Jagruti Foundation focuses on poverty alleviation by providing better livelihood opportunities, amenities and infrastructure facilities through innovative skill training and placement programs.
