About NGO:
WITH THE ADVENT OF LIBERALIZATION, INEQUALITIES AND DISPARITIES AMONGST THE VARIOUS STRATA OF THE SOCIETY CAME AS AN OBVIOUS FALL OUT. IN ADDITION TO THE GLARING DISADVANTAGES OF RAPID INDUSTRIALIZATION AT THE COST OF ENVIRONMENT, THE BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS HAVE SUFFERED A MAJOR SET BACK. THOUGH THE LEGAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE SYSTEMS AND PROCEDURES ARE IN PLACE BUT IT HAS BECOME IMPERATIVE ON THE RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS OF THE SOCIETY THAT INITIATIVES ARE TAKEN AT ALL LEVELS WHICH WILL HELP IN FORMATION OF AN IDEAL SOCIETY WITH DIGNIFIED HUMAN EXISTENCE MAINTAINED WITH SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT. WITH THESE SOLEMN OBJECTS IN MIND AND WITH A DETERMINATION TO BRING THE AID AND ASSISTANCE AT THE DOOR-STEP OF THE NEEDY AND UNDER-PRIVILEGED, A BUNCH OF PROFESSIONALS AND SOCIALLY MOTIVATED PEOPLE HAVE JOINED HANDS TO FORM AN ORGANIZATION "LIBRA INDIA". THE WORD "LIBRA", IN GREEK MYTHOLOGY MEANS 'BALANCE IN THE HANDS OF GODDESS OF JUSTICE'. "LIBRA INDIA", THUS IS AN ORGANIZATION WHICH AIMS AT BRINGING JUSTICE IN ALL WALKS OF LIFE BY BRINGING THE SOCIO-ENVIRO-JUDICIOUS EQUILIBRIUM IN THE COUNTRY. THE AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF "LIBRA INDIA" CAN BE SUMMED UP IN A NUT-SHELL AS LEGAL INITIATIVES BASED ON RESEARCH & ADVOCACY IN INDIA.

Fund Usage:
LIBRA INDIA HAS DECIDED TO SPEND MARATHON DONATIONS FOR THE PROJECT TO BE UNDERTAKEN FOR CREATING AWARENESS FOR INDIGENOUS PEOPLE RIGHTS ESPECIALLY IN THE SCHEDULED TRIBAL AREA OF THE STATE OF RAJASTHAN. THE PROJECT APART FROM AWARENESS AMONGST THE TRIBAL PEOPLE REGARDING THEIR RIGHTS TO A DIGNIFIED LIFE ALSO INCLUDE THE POLICY ADVOCACY FOR REHABILITATION AND RESETTLEMENT OF THE TRIBAL PEOPLE AFTER THE NUMEROUS INDUSTRIAL AS WELL AS ENERGY GENERATION PROJECTS COMING UP IN THE STATE. THE PROJECT WILL ALSO ENSURE THE UPLIFTMENT OF LIVING STANDARD OF THE WOMEN AND CHILDREN OF THE TRIBAL AREA AS WELL AS TO ENSURE SAFE AND HYGIENIC ENVIRONMENT.
Impact:
JODHPUR IS SITUATED AT WESTERN PART OF RAJASTHAN, WHICH IS A KNOWN DRAUGHT STRICKEN AREA . LIBRA INDIA IN ITS MAIDEN EFFORT HAS CONSTRUCTED ONE WATER TANK & WATER TUB OVER THE FOREST LAND MEANT FOR WILD LIFE CREATURES. THE CONSTRUCTION OF WATER TANK AND WATER TUB IS FOLLOWED BY AN AWARENESS CAMP IN THE VILLAGE TO INSPIRE THEM FOR PROTECTION, PRESERVATION AND CONSERVATION OF WILD LIFE. THERE APART A WILD LIFE RELIEF FUND WAS CREATED IN THE PARTNERSHIP WITH LOCAL GRAM PANCHAYAT OF VILLAGE BHAVAD WHICH WOULD HELP THE MAINTENANCE OF THE WATER TANK AND WATER TUB AS WELL AS SOME OTHER ACTIVITIES FOR WILD LIFE CREATURES. THE FEED-BACK SHOWS THAT NOW, THE LOCAL VILLAGE PEOPLE SPECIALLY YOUTH HAVE BECOME MORE AWARE AND CONCERNED ABOUT THE PROTECTION AND CONSERVATION OF WILD LIFE AND EVEN THE LOCAL GRAM PANCHAYAT HAS BECOME MORE COMMITTED FOR WILD LIFE ISSUES.
