Juba Jyoti Jubak Sangha (JJJS) has its origin way back in 1974 when a raw motivation of doing something for the society led a group of young men to come together and formalize their association in a small village in Puri District of Odisha. Humble beginning as it had, it was engaged in making the people around more empowered by creating awareness on issues pertaining to their livelihood, health and social rights during its nascent days. Initially, these activities were carried out with the funds generated through informal donation. Later on, the organization started receiving grants-in-aid from government to intensify the programmes. As it grew up with its experience and acquired knowledge, the outfit gradually expanded in terms of activity as well as locale.
