About Vividha
VIVIDHA in our mother tongue means “the one with a difference”.Â
Vividha is a women’s documentation and resource centre established in 1998. As the women’s movement in Rajasthan became more intense and broader-based in membership, the need for an information and resource centre became increasingly pressing. All good movements and campaigns need the support of a dynamic resource centre. With a constant flow of requests for data, references, literature, news clippings, updates on cases and case histories.
It is in this context some of the activists came together to initiate this resource centre. Vividha is a collective effort for critical and creative consultations on women’s and other contemporary relevant issues that affect women’s lives. It was formed of activists who had been assisting with investigations, legal aid, shelter and advocacy – its members are actively involved with other movements, campaigns of Rajasthan and they are actively writing and publishing to influence public opinion through the press and other media.

Our Recent Initiatives & Community Engagement
“True empowerment begins when individuals are equipped with awareness, voice and choice.”
At Vividha, we believe meaningful change begins at the community level, when people are informed, included and empowered to question long-held inequalities. In recent months, our team has been actively working across Jaipur’s government schools and urban settlements, engaging with children, adolescents and women on issues that shape their everyday realities.
