Rajsamand jan vikas sansthan was established in 2003. It was created as a support organization to strengthen “Rajsamand Mahila Manch”( Women’s Forum). There are more than 7000 MEMBERS in this organisation, which forms the MILESTONE of RJVS. RMM came into existence in Rajsamand district during 1998. Since women’s of this region had been addressing many issues which involved domestic violence, discr
imination, etc… this organization was setup to remove such issues from the society so that even women can lead a respectful life. In this forum women came and told their problem to forum member’s which were also from their own district who can understand their problem properly. Their problems were then further investigated and tried to solve. All the problems that have been reported are solved. This organization also meant carrying the concerns and current issues of women’s movement to an even widening network of groups and organizations.

Strategy :
RJVS focuses on "bottom-up" strategy means doing a solid pieceing together of individuals and getting involved with the lives of people. The field work strategy has been very effective in creating large people's participation, which helps people to become organised and avoid the problems they face, through a combined strategy and constructive action. RJVS believes that struggle alone can not bring about a new social order, but without struggle fundamental social change is not possible, and constructive action will be necessary to supplement. Alternatives and changes in material and social conditions, and new relationship are all necessary part of social changes. Since the poor facing the problems are opresses and exploited , RJVS also has a strategy of having resource units to do the research networking linkages, meetings, training needs those working at grass root levels in order to be effective in struggle and constructive action they do.
