Shikshan Ane Samaj Kalyan Kendra (SSKK) was established in the 1980s by young dedicated volunteers to check the prevailing condition of the fields.
At that time, migration of people to other places was prevalent as agriculture was the main occupation, and water was scarce due to drought. People were illiterate, and their economic condition was poor. Thus, to check the migration, the organization was founded to provide alternative livelihood choices.
Under the mentorship of Dhirubhai and his endless motive to serve rural society by all means SSKK made its strong existence in fields. Changing prevailing conditions in fields led the organization to address various social issues and SSKK expanded its intervention into fields of training, education, disaster response, environment, health, and in the environment.
Since its inception, SSKK has been working for the betterment of the status of people and has engaged in development activities to uplift rural and urban areas of the Amreli, Junagadh, and Gir Somnath districts of Gujarat state
Throughout the journey of 42 years Founder and Director – Mr Dhiraj (known as Dhirubhai) had ensured the well-being of the community and staff committed to serving society.
“It was a great experience to work with the SSKK Team. SSKK is doing really well for the overall upliftment of people in Amreli & Gir-Somnath Districts of Saurashtra region in Gujarat. I have personally observed all the activities of SSKK & amazed by the day-to-day activities carried out by SSKK members like Gender Education for boys, BCI Project for farmer's development, bio-diversity programs, dental hygiene & many more. These activities can impart grass root level changes in the community. SSKK is doing really great tasks with a non-profit base motto in the region. Even all the staff members of SSKK are also very co-operative, showing a great hospitality pattern of the Saurashtra region. Thank you SSKK Team for providing an opportunity to work with the team.”
