Gram Vikas School

Gram Vikas Schools, run by Gram Vikas; a well-known grass root organization primarily based in Odisha & founded by Joe Madiath, are a group of four Schools operating in three different districts of Odisha i.e. Ganjam, Gajpati and Kalahandi. These Schools primarily host tribal students. These Schools are situated in extremely remote areas having very limited access to transport, communication and other essential services. In one of the Schools that situate in Kalahandi district, there is absolutely no access to modern communication facilities such as Mobiles, telephones and internet at all. Despite facing all these adversities, these Schools have played a pivotal role in bringing the most marginalized sections of the society a step closer to literacy and education. More than education itself, it has helped them to understand the significance of education. It has produced a hunger for education in them who had been deprived of it since ages.
