About Us

Bharatiya Jain Sanghatana (BJS) is a non-profit social impact organization in the forefront of addressing national concerns in disaster response, water conservation, health and social development. Established in 1985, BJS’ early work that transformed into a mass movement has been instrumental in freeing several communities from the shackles of undesirable social customs responsible for dowry deaths and female foeticide. It has also been a lead player in relief and rehabilitation efforts during all major disasters in India and its neighbourhood since 1993, including several droughts in the past decade and more recently the Covid-19 pandemic.
