Kashyap Divya Jyoti Sewa Society (KDJSS) has been established with the target of achieving holistic development of Dumardiha, a tribal village located in Sonebhadra district in Uttar Pradesh. KDJSS has adopted the Dumardiha village and neighbouring villages in Dudhi taluka. Its vision is to make sustainable efforts in areas of education, livelihood, health, youth, women and community empowerment, while also promoting literacy among villagers.

The main activities are as follows :

• Education: KDJSS has trained over 360 children between the age group of 3 to 6 years in computer education across their nine Balwadi centres. The organisation also conducts education related awareness programs through which they aim to reduce the number of drop-out children. Regular parent meetings are conducted for follow ups. KDJSS distributes educational materials to children studying at these centres. Children from these balwadi centres are nominated for primary education in government schools. Free coaching is provided to over 250 poor students. During the year various recreational activities like art and essay competitions, picnic, cultural program, Vadviwad competition and anti-liquor program were conducted.
