In response to the grim situation of natural resources and human development in the rural areas of district Dausa, some young volunteers’ along with Mr. Harishankar Sharma initiated developmental activities in one village. Initially the activities that the group had undertaken were related to welfare of the persons living at margins particularly the ST and SC population, which contributes a substantial part in the area’s population. Gradually, the group expanded the scope of its activities in the areas of women development, education, social advocacy and natural resources management under the aegis of the newly formed society named Gramin Vikas evem Paryavaran Sanstha – GVePS.
Over the years different donors including both the domestic and the international have shown keen interest in organization’s endeavors and supported the organization in multiple ways. The team has got sufficient capacity building inputs from various sources. GVePS has got a small team of committed grassroots workers along with a cadre of volunteers. GVePS as an organization strongly believes in the peoples power and democratic processes.
GVePS envisions a society that is self sufficient and empowered enough to take care of its developmental needs thereby maintaining a fine balance between the human and environmental needs, where each member of the society is equipped with leadership traits and enjoys equal opportunity of participation and continuous growth & development.
