About NGO

Beed, one of the most drought-prone districts in Maharashtra. Due to excessive drought, farming cannot be done and poverty was at its peak. Farmers worked in sugarcane fields to earn their living. Therefore it had become a prime income source for them. So it was obligatory for the workers working on daily wages to travel all over Maharashtra. As a result, the workers had no option but to live an illusionary life with no education, no job, and no agriculture. Due to which they had to serve as workers for generations after generations.
Every family was going through this situation but a person named Mr. Deepak Nagargoje was one of them who was aware of this situation from his childhood and thought of bringing a change. He thought that at least the future generations should get the privilege to educate themselves and live a blooming happy life. He was determined and started to work and this is how the place “Shantivan” came into existence.
Mr. Deepak Nagargoje resided in Chumbali village of Beed district. In 1995, while studying in standard XI, he participated in the ’Shramsanskar Shibir’ of Shri. Baba Amte organized on Somnath project. This camp had a great impact on him and gave strength to his determined pathway and he decided to devote his entire life to social work rather than doing an ordinary job.
