A journey which started in 2007 by few alumni of Banaras Hindu University with a vision to give back something to the society that contributed a lot in shaping our lives has reached its major milestone with support from various section of our Society. With so many ups and downs we continued for 10 years where we established libraries in villages, provided skill enhancing trainings to farmers, women, youth ; making rural masses aware about health care; educating school going children of primary level through Ekal Vidyalaya etc. This year we organised our activities and developed an integrated program for holistic development of rural masses.
