  • ANNUAL REPORT 2012-13 About the Organization This Logo Symbolizes the Objectives of the Organization
    19th ANNUAL REPORT 2012-13 About the organization This logo symbolizes the objectives of the organization. The words in the outer circle are from the great Indian epic "Mahabharat", saying that "nothing is above a Human". This is also the motto of the organization. The triangle in the inner circle symbolizes the hands of three people and stands for community development through participation. The light from the lamp in the small hut in the centre symbolizes the development of the weakest and poorest person of the community. Founder trustees of the organization were inspired by Gandhian thinking and work of great men like Albert Schweitzer. They felt deeply the agony and hopelessness of poor villagers. They saw the plight of villagers and felt a need of medical services in these villages. Hence they brought like minded friends together and founded Gram Seva Trust, an organization dedicated to rural health and development. In 1994 the trust started a 30 bedded hospital with 5 staff members in an old dilapidated building, given by another trust. As the need arose the hospital was expanded to accomodate more patients and better services. Today after 19 years the hospital can accomodate 80 patients and has all basic facilities required in a rural hospital providing health services at affordable rates and sometimes free of charge to the needy from nearly 200 surrounding villages of Navsari and Dang districts. The organization also wanted to improve health of the surrounding villages hence as and when need was identified different community projects were started in the surrounding villages with main focus on health and development of women and children.
