History
Shahari Va Gramin Vikas Bahuddeshiya Sanstha
(SGVBS)
Shahari Va Gramin Vikas Bahuddeshiya Sanstha (SGVBS) was established in 2006 by a group of passionate individuals dedicated to addressing the social development issues faced by the urban and rural communities of Nagpur, Maharashtra. With a strong commitment to uplift marginalized populations, the organization began its journey by focusing on education, health, and economic empowerment.
Over the years, SGVBS has developed a robust framework for community development, promoting various initiatives to create a positive impact on the lives of those in need. Recognizing the importance of education, the organization launched awareness campaigns aimed at promoting a drug free lifestyle among the youth of Nagpur. These campaigns provided valuable information on the dangers of substance abuse, empowering young individuals to make informed choices.
In response to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, SGVBS mobilized resources to distribute ration kits to vulnerable families in Nagpur. These kits included essential food supplies and hygiene products, ensuring that basic needs were met during the difficult times of lockdowns.
SGVBS has also been proactive in addressing women’s health issues by conducting menstrual hygiene awareness programs. These initiatives aim to educate communities about proper menstrual health practices, breaking the stigma surrounding menstruation and ensuring that women have access to the necessary resources and information.
Understanding the significant role of truck drivers in the economy, SGVBS implemented the Truck Drivers Fitness Certification program. This initiative promotes the health and well-being of drivers through regular health checkups and fitness training, enhancing road safety and overall community health.
The organization is deeply committed to inclusivity, which is reflected in its Social Access for Retardation Ill initiative. This program provides support and resources to individuals with disabilities, focusing on skill development, awareness, and community integration. To further its mission, SGVBS established a Community Development Centre that serves as a hub for various programs aimed at uplifting urban unprivileged areas. This centre offers vocational training, educational support, and health awareness programs, creating a safe and supportive environment for community members.
Through its holistic approach to development, SGVBS engages with local stakeholders—including families, schools, and government officials—to identify the unique needs of each community and tailor initiatives accordingly. The organization remains dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for all individuals, fostering a society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
As SGVBS continues to grow, it aims to reinforce its commitment to sustainable development, environmental conservation, and the empowerment of disadvantaged groups. Through various programs, including nature conservation, waste-to energy initiatives, and river cleaning efforts, the organization strives to create a better future for the communities it serves.
