About Us

Youth Club - Bejjipuram is a Secular, apolitical organization founded by 20 elite, committed and educated youth inspired by the Mahatma Gandhi Philosophy of rural reconstruction through Non – violence and Grama Swarajyam and the inspiration of Swami Vivekananda preaching’s in the year 1980. The aim of the Organization is to fulfill the Human Values by serving the needy, downtrodden and under privileged sections of the society and inculcate the culture of Mutual Cooperation, Self Help, Self respect, Mutual Aid and encourage them  to  participate in decision making in order to cherish the objective of People’s empowerment.

 

Initially YCB had focused its emphasis on the basic needs of the village communities in erstwhile Ranastalam Block in Srikakulam District of United Andhra Pradesh during nineteen eighties and slowly extend the reach of services to unreached areas and unreached communities to other Mandals in the district and Districts.

YCB always stays close to the hearts of the communities and assessed the needs and potentials in a participatory manner. Channeling the youth force to rural reconstruction, YCB has been extending its sensible support to communities for their socio – economic empowerment during the last 41 Years Srikakulam is one of the poverty stricken districts of Andhra Pradesh State from where we observed migration of deprived and disadvantaged communities in large numbers to neighboring States and Districts in search of livelihoods.

 

YCB has chosen Srikakulam consciously to serve the poor in the district. Presently YCB is working with rural people and under privileged people living in rural areas of 16 Revenue Mandals, 1 Municipal Corporation and 3 urban Municipalities in united Srikakulam District striving to achieve 

sustainable development goals 1. End hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition and promote sustainable agricultural 2. Ensure healthy lives and promote well being for all at all ages 3. Ensure inclusive and equitable qualitative education. 4. Achieve gender equality. Further it was able to extend its services often to deprived people in Visakhapatnam; Vizianagaram; East Godavari Districts in AP during the past 20 years to some extent to implement need based programs.

 

YCB’s most promising approach is to promote and strengthen the community based organizations with different communities like farmers, artisans, high risk groups and rural women. During recent times it has changed its policy to reduce human resources and mostly depend on Information Technology and computerized systems in reporting and accounting according to changing trends of the world.
