GRAM VIKAS

Gram Vikas, which literally means 'Village Development' is an organization that has been working since 1979, to bring about sustainable improvement in the quality of life of poor and marginalised rural communities - mostly in Orissa. The core group of Gram Vikas had come to Orissa as student volunteers of Young Students' Movement for Development(YSMD), Chennai to serve victims of a devastating cyclone in early 1970s.
