Gandhigram Trust: Empowering Rural Communities
- Sustaining Lives through Education, Healthcare, and Rehabilitation
Gandhigram Trust, a non-profit organization based in Tamil Nadu, India, has been tirelessly working to enhance the socio-economic status of rural communities. Founded by two dedicated disciples and contemporaries of Mahatma Gandhi, Dr. T.S. Soundaram and Dr. G. Ramachandran, the organization aims to empower villages and enable holistic development.
Philosophy and Vision
The idea of Gandhigram was born from Mahatma Gandhi’s vision of empowering villages. Dr. Soundaram and Dr. Ramachandran, ardent followers of Gandhi, incorporated his values into their work. Their philosophy revolves around education, healthcare, rehabilitation, and community development.
Education: The Sharpest Tool for Empowerment
Gandhigram Trust firmly believes that education is the sharpest tool for empowerment. They provide schooling to children in the communities they serve, ensuring access to quality education for all.
Healthcare: A Fundamental Right
Access to quality healthcare is a fundamental right. Gandhigram Trust ensures that no citizen is denied this right based on their socio-economic status. Their healthcare interventions focus on safe and secure girl children.
Rehabilitation and Self-Employment
The trust provides homes for neglected sections of society, enabling them to reclaim the space that rightfully belongs to them. Following Gandhian values, they nurture self-employment through village industries and extension programs. Khadi (hand-spun and handwoven fabric) is also an integral part of their mission.
