Project Janani

Built around dignity, education, skill development, and self-confidence — Project Janani is designed to create lasting, measurable change in how women and girls experience opportunity, health, and participation in their communities.
12
Month Journey
What is Project Janani?
Project Janani is a structured, 12-month empowerment initiative designed by Parmarth Foundation to address the interconnected challenges that women and girls face in underserved communities across Bihar.
Rather than offering isolated interventions, Project Janani follows a phased model — beginning with dignity and awareness, progressing through education and skill-building, and culminating in leadership development and recognition.

Dignity First
Health, confidence, and self-respect as foundations
Project Janani is not a one-time campaign or event. It is a process-driven empowerment model — designed to work with communities over 12 months to create real, sustained change.
Every phase of Project Janani is built on evidence, experience, and a deep understanding of the communities we serve.

In many parts of Bihar, the challenges women and girls face are not isolated — they are deeply interconnected.
Menstrual Health Stigma
Millions of girls in rural Bihar still lack access to sanitary products and face silence, shame, and misinformation around menstruation.
Learning Gaps Among Girls
Girls in underserved areas are often the first to drop out of school. Without academic support, the cycle of limited education continues.
Limited Local Education Support
Many communities lack adequate teaching resources or after-school programs. Girls have almost no access to structured learning support.
Low Exposure to Skills & Careers
Most young women have never attended a career counselling session. They don't know what options exist for them beyond domestic life.
Social Barriers to Participation
Deep-rooted social norms still discourage women from speaking up, leading, or participating in public life.
Interconnected Challenges
These issues don't exist in isolation. A girl who misses school due to menstrual stigma also loses career exposure. Janani addresses them together.
These are the lived realities of thousands of women and girls in Bihar's most underserved districts. Project Janani builds a structured path from dignity to self-reliance.
Janani Swabhimaan
The first active phase of Project Janani — focused on dignity, menstrual health, and self-respect.
Dignity Comes First
Before education or skills can take root, a girl must feel safe, respected, and aware of her own body. Janani Swabhimaan begins where empowerment truly starts — with dignity.
This phase focuses on breaking the silence around menstrual health, distributing hygiene kits, conducting awareness sessions in schools and communities.
We believe that no education program or skill workshop will succeed if a girl is still ashamed of her own biology. Swabhimaan is the groundwork that makes everything else possible.
What We Distribute
Menstrual hygiene kits containing sanitary pads, awareness pamphlets, and personal care items.
How We Conduct Sessions
Interactive awareness sessions in schools and community spaces — informative, age-appropriate, and stigma-free.
Who Leads It
Women volunteers and local caregivers trained by Parmarth lead every session with cultural sensitivity.
Where It Happens
Active in schools, anganwadi centres across Sitamarhi, Begusarai, Patna, and Darbhanga districts.
Why Dignity Before Education?
A girl who is ashamed of her period will not sit confidently in a classroom. Janani Swabhimaan creates the emotional and physical safety that makes all future growth possible.

Project Janani is built on Parmarth's years of grassroots experience across Bihar.
Building on a Strong Foundation
Before Project Janani, Parmarth Foundation had already conducted education camps, medical outreach, and women's skill workshops. These experiences taught us what works — and what doesn't.
Project Janani is the result of those learnings. It's our most structured, most focused initiative for women and girls.
- Years of direct community engagement in Bihar's most underserved areas
- Established volunteer network across Sitamarhi, Begusarai, Patna, and Darbhanga
- Past education camps benefitting hundreds of children and families
- Strong relationships with local schools, health workers, and community leaders
- MCA, MSME, AICTE, and DARPAN certifications
"We don't chase large numbers. We focus on depth — ensuring genuine, sustained change."
