Gramalaya was established in 1987 with a group of committed youths in the field of rural development. Gramalaya has got its legal entity by registering under the Indian Trust Act of 1882 with a registration No.72/87 on 11.6.1987. The Government of India has approved Gramalaya as one of the National Key Resource Centre (KRC) for providing training and capacity building support to Government Officials and NGOs working in the sector. The ultimate goal of Gramalaya is to work for the amelioration of socially downtrodden people under the integrated rural development approach.
