The gradual and painful collapse of the ancestral or traditional livelihoods of tens of thousands of nomadic families has been gravely overlooked by the lawmakers, planners and the civil society. As a result, we have before us the humongous challenge of rehabilitating some of the poorest communities of our country. Agreed, the development we all so desire is bound to negatively impact some sections of the society, but unfortunately, the cost of this rapid development in terms of industrialization and globalization is being endured by people and communities who stand to benefit the least from it. Amongst them are thousands of nomadic and de-notified families VSSM has been working with for almost a decade.
The SWAVLAMBAN program was launched in March 2014 as a response to mitigate the challenges the nomadic families faced to earn a dignified living. Under the program VSSM offers interest-free loans to individuals and families from nomadic communities willing to start their own independent ventures. The initiative is designed to revitalize their occupations, encourage them to form a habit of compulsory monthly saving, help them break free of the debt bondage of private money lenders and improve their financial health. Currently loans worth Rs. 5,12,04,843 (keep growing) are in rotation and continued efforts are made to expand the scope of this program that eventually helps the nomads elevate their standard of living
2017 is the worst year for People of Banaskantha. the flood ruined the life and livelihood Banaskantha People. People lost everything. VSSM set hope again given the loan to needy families to start a new business. Most families start an Animal Husbandry business. Now they are set and want more loan to expand Animal Husbandry business. VSSM bring the success story of some people of Banaskantha.
