History of GPSS
GPSS started as a development organization during 1991 which tried to visualize the problems of locality; feelings of people at micro level & raise voice for people. In course of time, spirit of activism got over-shadowed by harsh reality of people’s minimum materialistic thought of one’s own survival. Witnessing changing attitudes and growing complexities – there raised need for change in operational modalities to emphasize on developmental aspects. The organization does have a good team of Staff and experienced Advisors who are keen enough to take up every challenge. But for that only – the performance at field level have always been up to standard and reliance of people and that of Govt. line department have been gained in most honorable manner.
