Nivaran

Nivaran is a word of Sanskrit origin used in several South Asian languages to denote removal, remedy, or the overcoming of an obstacle. In classical Sanskrit and Pali texts the term (often transliterated nīvaraṇa) refers to coverings or obstructions, and it is employed in Buddhist psychology to describe mental hindrances that impede meditation and insight.

In modern Hindi, Urdu and related languages, nivaran commonly means a solution, cure, or redress. The term appears in everyday speech as well as in formal contexts where it denotes corrective measures, problem solving, or relief efforts. Because of this general meaning, nivaran is frequently used in titles and names for social initiatives, healthcare campaigns, public policy programs, and non-governmental organizations across South Asia.

The word also appears in literary and devotional writings where it carries connotations of liberation from suffering or the removal of spiritual and material difficulties. As a proper noun, nivaran is occasionally adopted as a personal name and as an element in organizational and project names, reflecting its association with relief and resolution.
