Gram Bharti

Gram Bharti is a grassroot voluntary organisation that has been working towards inclusive rural reconstruction for creating a more sustainable and just society, following in the footsteps of Mahatma Gandhi and his vision of Gram Swaraj. Gram Bharti is a non-profit organization that was founded in 1962 by a group of social activists who were inspired by the teachings of Gandhi, Vinoba, and Jay Prakash Narayan. The organization started with a small group of 17 families from the tribal community in Goplamaran, Bihar. Today, Gram Bharti has expanded its activities to as many as 750 villages, positively impacting over families.
