About Seva NGO

The Social Empowerment & Voluntary Association(SEVA) 
The Social Empowerment & Voluntary Association (SEVA) is a registe-red public charitable trust based in Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, India.
SEVA is a community-based organization focused on action planning and policy support, dedicated to bridging the gap between policy, practice, and research related to disaster mitigation and climate change adaptation. Its efforts align with the Disaster Management Plan of the District Disaster Management Authority under the Collector Offices of Maharashtra. Since its establishment in 2008, SEVA has expanded its scope to cover 9 types of disasters across 10 regions in Maharashtra. 

SEVA strives to connect local communities with national and international risk reduction, relief, and long-term recovery policies and programs, building resilience in line with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR).


As an action-and-learning organization, SEVA promotes disaster risk mitigation and climate change adaptation by capturing, processing, and disseminating disaster-related information, lessons learned, and innovative ideas. It also conducts stakeholder round tables, 

Capacity-building training sessions, school safety programs, reviews, and pilot demonstration projects, all with citizens at the center of these efforts.


In parallel, SEVA addresses a variety of social issues, such as organizing financial literacy training in collaboration with SEBI, CDSL, and the NIIT Foundation, and tackling important areas like child sexual abuse, child trafficking, women’s empowerment, rural development, agriculture, education, health, and environmental protection.
