About URJO

URJO was established In 2007 with the goal to reassure and restore self confidence in women going through midlife crises, primarily due to menopause and empty nest syndrome. URJO is a voluntary organization and the word literally means “Power”. We emphasize the power within women and encourage them to find ways and means to empower themselves and stay happy.

URJO also renders medical advice and guidance needed, in this regard with the help of the doctor members of Kolkata Menopause Society. Awareness program in different communities and schools with girl students is convened by our members. Our philosophy is ‘ Bhalo theko, bhalo rekho (Stay well, keep others well) and in keeping with this philosophy, we at Urjo, always strive to share our joy and happiness with the underprivileged, especially elderly ladies and children.

Our major activities include, among others, Public awareness programs, Health camps, Meditation and Yoga Camps for society as well as for members, Vocational training for womenand destitute children, Donations for various social causes, Fund collection for disastermanagement, Care for elderly and providing quality time to the elderly and destitute children.

  • Improve the preparedness of women to cope with physical, mental and social changes in life due to menopause and to realise their full potential for action and change.

Vision

Our biggest threat today is our alienation from life. Our daily living forces us to plunge into petty shells. Let us come out of the black hole and bridge the gap of seclusion forced upon women like a special providence. Girl child being our future, we hope to nurture them into self-sufficient individuals. We can live a better life together. This is how URJO would like to dream about the future ahead.
