Vision of Grama Niketan which dovetails with the Gandhi darshan that ‘future of India lies in the villages’, radiated out of our growing understanding about the lack of enough research on rural areas, runs sharply athwart conventional presumptions.
Grama Niketan tries to ensure social development through increased community participation and co-operation among groups at grass root level. As an organization formed for the overall development and upliftment of its members, Grama Niketan intends to promote all social, cultural, educational and economic activities and establishes and administers any such activity that could fall under the mandate
