Season after season, women farmers have battled drought, heavy rains, and freezing winters. Each brings its own challenges—but also new opportunities.

Now, with their farm ponds filled and the harvest just around the corner, they’re preparing for one of their busiest times. This is the essence of the "Feminization of Agriculture."

In their Self-Help Group (SHG) meetings, the conversations are buzzing. They discuss the upcoming harvest, plans for planting second crops, how best to use the pond water, and how vermicompost will nourish their soil. They strategize to shield their Fruit plants from the approaching harsh winter.

These women farmers have come a long way. Once restricted from even stepping outside, they now lead SHG meetings and make vital decisions that impact their land and livelihoods. They aren’t just farmers—they’re changemakers.

Aapni Paathshala: Bridging the Education Gap for Tribal Children

In a world driven by technology, many tribal children remain disconnected from education. Aapni Paathshala is changing that by offering a space for these children to learn, write, and develop the habit of going to school.

While the world races toward technology, tribal children still struggle to access basic education. Aapni Paathshala brings them closer to a brighter future by providing the space they need to grow and thrive.

Our Story

A group of socially conscious individuals formed the organization Gram Chetna Kendra in 1986 to address the immense needs the rural poor of Rajasthan in terms of development. Under the leadership of Mr. Om Prakash Sharma, these individuals combined their unique talents, knowledge, skills and experiences to address the pressing issues that the communities of Rajasthan were facing. Gram Chetna Kendra, which translates into “Village Awareness Center”, was registered as a voluntary, Non-Governmental organization under the Societies Registration Act. The organization was officially recognized in 1989 and got the FCRA registration in 1992.

Gram Chetna Kendra began its formal operations from the village of Khedi Milak, which is at the heart of the project area. Khedi Milak is located at approximately 55 km from Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, in the Sambhar Block of Jaipur District. The association started its activities in two villages from the Sambhar Lake area, to extend and reach 11 districts in Rajasthan. Currently, Gram Chetna Kendra is working specifically in 2 districts (Jaipur and Kota).

Throughout the years, GCK has sustained a range of various activities through funding and support. Initially, the projects were solely focused on improving the welfare of the rural poor through providing them with basic needs, but the organization has since grown and evolved, towards projects based on capacity building and human resource development. We aim to enhance peoples’ abilities to recognize and develop their own potential to address the issues in their own communities and natural environments.

For the past 30+ years, we have been fighting for the rights and entitlements of the most marginalized members of our communities, and especially women, children and differently abled persons.
