The foundation of Jan Jagran Kendra was laid in 1978 by a group of seven passionate and visionary individuals. Their shared commitment to social and economic progress culminated in the formal registration of the organization in 1981-82. Each founding member brought with them a rich history of advocacy and grassroots involvement, addressing the challenges faced by rural communities.

United by their dedication, these individuals were active participants in the mass movements of the 1970s, championing social awareness and confronting obstacles to socio-economic development. This collective vision led to the establishment of Jan Jagran Kendra, driven by a mission to create a just, equitable, and self-reliant society.

Since its inception, the organization has pursued an integrated approach to rural development. Rooted in key pillars of progress—education, healthcare, women’s empowerment, and environmental sustainability—Jan Jagran Kendra has been at the forefront of transformative change.

Child development remains a core focus, reflecting the organization's unwavering commitment over the past two decades. While headquartered in Hazaribag, its initiatives to combat poverty and promote holistic growth extend across the state of Jharkhand, touching countless lives.
