'Vikalp' suggests an 'alternative' to the existing social structure marked by discrimination, violence and unequal opportunities. Vikalp is a Barmer based organization that works in seven districts of western Rajasthan viz. Barmer, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Jalore, Pali, Sirohi and Bikaner with the commitment to create a violence free society based on equity, peace and justice.
Vikalp was registered in 2004 by a group of youths with considerable experience of working in social organizations, leadership building, issue based work, advocacy, lobbying and management. Their understanding and involvement in issues related to sensitisation of the civil society, empowerment, sustainable development, literacy and gender equity drove them to work with the youth and create agents of change to combat the disparaging forces of the society. They committed themselves to articulate the needs of the youth with their integrity, accountability and perseverance.
