For any society, awareness on health, gender issues, women’s rights, child issues, protection of girl child, literacy, environment, nationalism, social reforms and other such issues of national importance is necessary. The issue of awareness often appears insignificant, small and quickly achievable but in practical terms it is an uphill task to achieve since it has a direct relation with the level of literacy and economic conditions prevailing in the area concerned. Sewajyoti extensively runs awareness programmes in and around Nawalgarh as we believe that only an informed and aware society can ensure successful implementation of programmes and schemes.

Sewajyoti’s awareness programmes cover various fields including social reforms, environment protection, mother and child, health, nutrition and other issues of national importance as and when the need arises. Our volunteers spread the message of rural development, communal harmony, land reforms, literacy and hygiene, and try to build opinion against child labour, corruption, violence against women and other social evils.

On International Womens Day (8 March) every year, Sewajyoti organizes a function to honour successful women who have set an example for others. Women making significant contribution in the fields of education, health, professional upliftment and social service are honored with felicitation letters and memorabilia. Women from rural areas come in large numbers to attend this programme. The event is extensively covered in the media and never pass without creating a positive impact. Cultural troops and folk artists are also involved during some of the awareness campaigns in order to make the entire experience interesting and appealing.

Sewajyoti had organized a campaign under its ‘Beti Bachao Andolan’ (Save the girl child movement). Hundreds of people marched to highlight the problem of female infanticide and express their solidarity with the cause. They resolved to treat their daughters in the same manner as their sons and to pay due attention to their education, health, nutrition and development.

Narbada Devi Morarka Charitable Trust, an associated organization of Sewajyoti, had also constituted women’s groups named Mahila Mandals in Bijnor district of Uttar Pradesh where regular meetings are conducted to educated women on issues such as health, education and nutrition.
