Welcome to Gram Vikas Trust
Gram Vikas Trust (GVT) is a voluntary organization working for the education, health and women’s empowerment in the underprivileged communities, especially with children and women.
GVT was initiated with a view to evolving information and making linkage between the villagers and the government. We believed that knowledge would lead to awareness, which would further lead to self-development, empowerment and action.

Approach
Gram Vikas Trust believes that :
a. Poverty and powerlessness, in the context of economic growth in 21st century, are avoidable, preventable and can be addressed
b. Basic human needs and rights are achievable goals for all the human beings. Everyone, irrespective of one’s specific socio-economic, political or other status, has rights to a sustainable livelihood, to participate in developmental activities, and to contribute positively towards making people’s lives better.
c. Inequalities between rich and poor and between geographical locations can be and should be reduced ultimately contributing towards creating a just society.
Longer-term strategy :
GVT is in the process of defining longer-term Strategic Objectives (SOs) in order to achieve the lasting positive impact in the lives of the underprivileged communities through realization of the organisation’s vision and mission more effectively. It is envisaged that the organisation will have SOs for the five year period, 2016 to 2020. We humbly seek support from our partners in this endeavor.

Golder Words For Us Testimonials & Beneficiary Feedback
Gram Vikas Trust has been a trusted partner of GiveIndia since the year 2015. They have shown very high transparency and accountability by adhering to all our due diligence requirements for building trust with the donors. Their programs have been creating very good impact in the areas of elderly, education, and other community related causes. Their program for supplying rations to the elderly was one of the fastest growing programs when we piloted our Subscription product in the year 2017-18. Looking forward to creating larger impact together in the times to come!
GVT and Reach to Teach (RTT) have been partnering to implement projects for improving learning outcomes of children of government primary schools in Bharuch district for about five years. Combining GVT’s deep community connect and RTT’s expertise in improving teaching and learning, we’ve managed to touch the lives of thousands of children and bring about sustained improvements in government primary schools in Vagra and Jhagadiya blocks. GVT is known for its collaborative relationship with the district education department. We’ve found GVT to be flexible and receptive to suggestions for improving its internal systems and processes to meet professional standards. I would say the biggest strength of GVT is its strong and committed team built over the last five years under the passionate leadership of its founder, Ramesh Kasondra. GVT maintains a very positive work culture where there’s space for everyone to participate and engage in open conversations.
