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.

Our Story
Gram Vikas Trust (GVT) came into existence as a result of the motivation and personal initiative of its founder, Mr. Ramesh Kasondra, to enhance the socio-economic status of the underprivileged people. Hailing from a rural family, the founder was no stranger to hardships faced by the underprivileged. Having overcome economic and social challenges, due to the backing and economic blessings from certain elder society leaders, the founder set out to do his best to make a positive difference in the lives of fellow underprivileged.
Working with a team of committed people, GVT’s aim has been to secure integrated development through people’s participation. The key areas identified for interventions include child rights, education, health and hygiene, sustainable livelihood, and women empowerment. Our efforts have developed lasting association with government, non-government and corporate organizations as also with the communities and groups with whom we have worked.
We have come a long way following a small beginning in June 2001, and have implemented a wide variety of projects related to child rights for change, reproductive child health care, quality education, watershed development, wasteland development, tribal development, low cost sanitation, alternate energy sources, self-help groups, vocational training to youth, and women empowerment in Bharuch and Narmada Districts of Gujarat state in India.
