About Us

Karra Society for Rural Action (KSRA)

Jharkhand is home to lot of tribal population. Since independence they have been deprived of development. They are not included in the mainstream development agenda. Hence, they remain impoverished.

Karra Society for Rural Action (KSRA) was established in the year 1985 with a noble aim of uplifting socially downtrodden communities belonging to both rural and urban areas including the tribals, particularly in Karra Block of Khunti District and generally, in whole of the Jharkhand State.

We aim to  build  self-sustaining and self-reliant communities belonging to both rural and urban areas with major thrust on the development of tribals in the region of Jharkhand through initiatives with focus on empowerment of deprived and poor.  The objectives of our activities are : 
  • Economic Empowerment :    Bringing in self reliance to vulnerable communities in rural/urban areas through our various integrated development initiatives. 
  • Building Community Groups:  We initiate group-building activities in communities to enable them to generate responses to their own problems. 
  • Migrant labours' development :   Linking migrant labours to govt. schemes  so that they can gain benefit from the same. 
  • Awareness Generation:  Using participative methods to raise awareness on social issues.
  • Working in partnership with Govt: Collaborating with government agencies so that government benefits are reached to the rural and urban masses. 
  • Empowerment generation programs:   Adolescent girls and boys, women are exposed to various empowerment generation activities like self-help groups  formation,  micro-finance activities, etc.

Our Programs

Experience on Creating Awareness on COVID-19

KSRA with its limited resources responded immediately to combating the COVID-19 pandemic situation. KSRA distributed more than 6000 kits which comprises of dry ration and other essential items. KSRA covered about 114700 community members of Ranchi urban & Kanke block and 45000 community members of Karra & Khunti blocks. Additionally, KSRA engaged more than 1200 community leaders and influencers to mobilize communities and convince people to follow CAB. In addition to this, intensive-care intervention and other health, nutrition and WASH behavioural assistance, along with RCCE were provided and the same is still being continued. This intervention helped in providing comprehensive information to targeted families. This resulted in 32000 people getting vaccinated in KSRA’s intervention area in Ranchi and 4700 people in Karra block of Khunti District. Apart from this, 20,000 sanitizers and 30,000 masks for adults and 1500 masks for children, which we distributed, were provided to us thankfully from “Reliance Foundation” in collaboration with UNCIEF.

KSRA also supported 12,815 SC/ST families for getting job cards and ensured at least 75 labor days per year per jobholder.
