Kalapandhari Magaswargiya & Adivasi Gramin Vikas Sanstha is founded by Mr. B.P. Suryavanshi. (KMAGVS) He is a pioneer in child protection and development work. It envisions a world free of child abuse and works on a variety of issues affecting vulnerable children and their families. He had faced caste, gender, and class discrimination as he grew older. Mr. Suryawasnshi decided at the time that he would fight against it one day. As a result he started a children's pre-school center (a baalwadi) with the help of the wife of a military officer.
After that he worked with NGO and government sector and he realized the importance of a formally registered organization having a proper structure and regular processes soon thereafter, KMAGVS was registered in the year 1986 in the name of the parents of Mr. B.P. Suryavanshi. In the subsequent phase of its journey, KMAGVS secured an FCRA registration and financial support from NABARD under the Indo-German Watershed Development Program me to run a micro-watershed. It formed partnerships with organizations such as Intermon Oxfam, Oxfam India, and the DFID-supported Poorest Areas Civil Society Program me, and launched several significant initiatives, such as strengthening a trade union of landless laborers for livelihood (with DFID PACS support), promoting sustainable agricultural practices among grazing land occupants (with Oxfam India support), and a multi-dimensional approach to educational excellence (with support from Intermon Oxfam).
It was in the year 1998 that Mr. Suryavanshi decided to engage full-time with the organization for that he resigned from CASA And began intervening in approximately 40 villages by 2001-02, and has since expanded its operations to nearly 160 villages.
In the course of the KMAGVS’s journey, it also initiated several other ventures of significance with support from various donors and the notable initiatives included an exclusive community-based micro-finance initiative of women, models of community-driven schools and promotion of organic farming. Along the way, the organization also purchased a Non-Banking Financial Company and took loans to the tune of Rs. 4 crore from banks. It also assumed an important role in the land rights movement in Marathwada, a collective initiative of several dalit-focused mobilizations in the state.
Children being the thrust of the project taken up by the organization with support from CRY, it focused on ensuring child rights by focusing on a number of issues of children, particularly relating to survival and development.
