About Sahyogi

Sahyogi is a non-political, non-religious, and not-for-profit organization, formally registered under the Society Registration Act (21 of 1860) in February 2008 in Bihar. Sahyogi is duly registered under the Income Tax Act for tax exemptions under Sections 12AB and 80G, and is also registered under the FCRA and CSR provisions. The organization adheres to all statutory requirements and complies fully with the laws of the land.

For over a decade, Sahyogi has been working at the grassroots to nurture a just and equitable society — one where women, men, adolescent girls, and boys live with dignity, exercise their rights, and actively participate in decisions that shape their lives, free from discrimination and violence.

Over the years, Sahyogi has evolved into a community-driven, gender resource organization, rooted in the belief that real and lasting change begins at the local level. We work closely with both urban and rural communities, Panchayati Raj Institutions, youth collectives, frontline workers, and local governance structures to challenge harmful gender norms, prevent violence, and strengthen leadership among women and young people.

Our work focuses on building social capital, fostering collective consciousness, and driving collective action — empowering individuals and groups to not only identify inequality but to confront and transform it, within families, institutions, and the broader community.
