Neev is a charitable society based in Shivpuri, Madhya Pradesh that was started by friends with a similar mindset who met while at university and wanted to work with the poor and underprivileged. Poverty co-exists in Madhya Pradesh (M.P) amid vast pools of illiteracy, in a socio-cultural setting where women are accorded low status, under-age marriages continue, and the shortage of health services and trained medical personnel add to the risk of child bearing. Neev is currently working with women from Thakarpura, Nohri, Kathmai and Binega villages in Shivpuri and trains them to make bed linen, table linen, gift bags etc.
