 A spin-off sister organisation of WOTR, the Sanjeevani Institute of Empowerment and Development (SIED) was established in May 2007 with the objective of focusing on the implementation of projects in rural Maharashtra. Its preference is for the tribal and backward regions especially where the environment is degraded. The thematic areas addressed are (a) poverty reduction (b) natural resource regeneration and management (c) livelihood development and (d) community and institutional development.
The head office of SIED is at Aurangabad. It has 10 project cluster offices at Ahmednagar district (Ahmednagar & Sangamner), Amravati, Aurangabad, Dhule district (Pimpalner), Jalna district (Bokhardan and Jaffrabad), Pune district (Shirur), Wardha district (Karanja) and Yeotmal. Currently SIED is implementing 88 projects independently and some in collaboration with WOTR.
