Utthan envisions a society that imbibes and ensures the values of gender justice, equality, peace and happiness, in practice. It brings together a group of professional development workers, committed to working with communities towards an India free of inequalities and discrimination with equal opportunities, security and freedom for all.
Its efforts to translate this vision into reality is focused on its mission to serve those most vulnerable such as women, adivasi communities, dalits, minorities and the poor.
Utthan is happy to let you know about the release of its book ‘Rising Utthan’, written by Shri Ashoke Chatterji and produced by Business Standard, on 17th September, 2011, Saturday at Gujarat Vidyapith, Ahmedabad.
The book describes in depth the struggle of women and others from all socially, politically and economically vulnerable sections Utthan worked with in Dahod, Panchmahals, Bhavnagar and Amreli districts, striving for a dignified life. Written off more than once as “hopeless” the mass movements, either for exercising their rights over natural resources for livelihood security, water and land continued. Women and people's efforts led to substantial achievements towards water security, land protection and against gender, communal and caste based violence, through various technical and social breakthroughs. Over the years, the struggle has transformed into campaigns for greater gender equity, family health, livelihoods and above all, for human rights
