This act reflects the deep-rooted values and commitment to community welfare that both Jamnalal Bajaj and Gandhiji exemplified throughout their lives.

The Trust plays a pivotal role in addressing healthcare challenges in India by establishing modern hospitals with a focus on compassionate care for the underprivileged. Their initiatives span Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary health facilities, addressing issues like malnourishment, non-communicable diseases, and childhood health.

Collaborating with renowned institutions, they have opened eye hospitals providing free care.

Additionally, their commitment extends to Environmental Sustainability, Water Conservation, Sanitation, Sports, and Cultural Endeavours, contributing to nurturing talent in various domains and supporting arts, culture, and heritage initiatives.

Janakidevi Bajaj Gram Vikas Sanstha (JBGVS) plays a critical role in empowering underprivileged people by generating sustainable livelihood in the non-farm sector. It has developed three forms of interventions to accomplish this objective – Individual Enterprise Model, Group Enterprise Model & Skill Development, and Career Progression Model.

Under these models, the livelihood programmes focus on career progression, mentorship support (rural and urban), inclusion, outcome-led designs, and capacity building – pre- and post-employment support.

JBGVS Education programmes aim at the holistic development of children from all walks of life by providing learning platforms for children.

JBGVS aims to bridge the gap between the current and desired education situation through various internal interventions and partnerships with multiple organisations that specialise in dealing with problems that hamper the Indian education scenario today.

The objective of JBGVS programmes includes strengthening local leadership in the villages, empowering women through Self-Help Groups (SHGs), promoting local culture, rural sports, and so on. The purpose of these activities is to enable people, particularly youth and women, to continue the development activities once JBGVS withdraws from the villages. Organising Mahila Melavas (get-togethers of women) to increase interaction amongst women and raise awareness about social issues like dowry, female foeticide, domestic violence, and the menace of environmental degradation are some of the initiatives.
