individuals across a few blocks in Araria, Bihar. By educating people on how to apply for work and
empowering them to demand their entitlements, JJSS has helped unite thousands of individuals
in the region. People have used the money earned from work provided in the NREGA scheme for
many reasons, from leasing land for agriculture to improving household food consumption. JJSS
also has taken up may cases which demand justice to religious minorities, dalits, and PVTGs.
