Gram Vikas Trust (GVT) runs a programme to provide malnourished and underprivileged children with rations for three months.

The Basics

  1. GVT has found a direct correlation between the backwardness of the region and the degree of malnourishment that children suffer from.
  2. The scheme provides for children to receive nutritious food through Anganwadis in their respective villages.
  3. Feedback on progress and the scheme itself is collected from Anganwadis as well as the children’s parents.
  4. Children group members are identified from the Anganwadi, and visit children at their homes or at the Anganwadi centre.
  5. They conduct nutritional assessment using recognised methods such as Mid Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) measurement, and test the water using a Bacto H2 kit.
  6. A record of the child, including nutrition, diet composition and frequency, hand-washing practice, etc. is collected from parents.
  7. Parents are invited to a public video show and a street play on malnutrition.
  8. The water test reports are also shared with the parents.
  9. Adults and community leaders are encouraged to write appeals to political representatives to include malnutrition in their election manifesto.

About Us

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.
