The formation of Navchetna Yuva Vikas Sanstha (NYVS) is the result of efforts by another Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) in Yavatmal called Gramin Samasya Mukti Trust (GSMT). GSMT has been working in Vani town, Yavatmal district, on HIV/STI prevention among high-risk groups, including men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender individuals.

About the Organization
Message from the Chairperson/Executive Director
Dear Friends and Supporters,
As we look back on the past year at Navchetna Yuva Vikas Sanstha (NYVS), I am filled with gratitude for the achievements we’ve reached together. In 2023-24, our commitment to empowering marginalized communities across Yavatmal has strengthened through impactful programs in health, social protection, disaster relief, and economic empowerment.
This year, alongside Swathi Mahila Sangh, the Taras Coalition, and under the C-19 RM grant, we provided social protection services and documentation support to over 7,000 marginalized individuals. Our Disaster Relief Task Force extended essential aid to 1,200 flood-affected families, reinforcing our dedication to resilience. Also, we held expanded health screenings and camps, addressing HIV, anemia, and diabetes, ensuring community members receive early intervention.
Though challenges persist, including societal stigma and pandemic impacts, we remain steadfast in advocating for accessibility and resilience. Our partnerships with organizations like GFATM, local health authorities, and private healthcare providers have been instrumental in reaching milestones
I extend heartfelt thanks to our supporters, donors, community partners, and each NYVS member. Your belief in our vision and dedication make our progress possible. Special thanks to Swathi Mahila Sangh, Swasti Health Catalyst, GFATM, and all partner organizations for your technical and financial support, helping us serve our community. To our task force and volunteers, your compassion drives our mission forward. Thank you for standing by us as we build a healthier, inclusive future for Yavatmal.
With gratitude,
Pramod Rathod
