ORIGINS

Saugaht  Foundation, emerged at the beginning of this century when a few like-minded enthusiastic youths and social activists of the Palamu district of Jharkhand started putting their heads together regularly to undertake small initiatives to cater to some specific social needs of the area. The preliminary work of the group was to initiate development activities in rural areas of Husainabad Block of Palamu district. They kept on doing various social development activities by organizing the lower cast and tribal villagers.  Gradually this group-work had germinated into a new NGO, named ‘Saugaht Foundation’, registered as a ‘Legal Trust' in the year 2005. Presently Saugaht Foundation is a non-political, non-religious and non-profit NGO, a credible humanitarian organization in Jharkhand. The organization is run efficiently by a Governing-Body constituted by some reputed persons and social activists.
