Vimukti Sanstha

Rajasthan

Vimukti Sanstha was set up as a society in 2004 in Jaipur .Our mission is to combat and overcome the vulnerability of underprivileged young girls by providing literacy and education in an effort to make them self-reliant and self-employed citizens.

Mr.Arun Kumar is the head of the organization. He is a Retd.I.A.S officer of Rajasthan. He held various positions in the government of Rajasthan. He was also the chief secretary of Rajasthan for 2 years. Starting with 30 girls in 2004,

Parents of most of the girls are daily wage earners and hence do not have a regular income. Many a time even if fathers earn, they do not support the family and spend all their earnings on drinking and hence the mothers are forced to work but since they are hardly educated, they can only manage to work as domestic help or cooks which fetches them little money to take care of all the expenses.

95% of the students at Vimukti are from socially backward classes including minority communities and their average family income is less than Rs 100000 annually for an average family size of 5. Vimukti works with around 600 girls from ages 5 to 17 years.
