Our founder coordinator Mr. S.K. Yusuf Zai started his struggle and founded Gram Vikas Samiti (R.D.S.) in 1972, the socio-economic and political condition of village Kherwara and other surrounding tribal villages was very pity.

There were some so-called politicians, who were dominating local administration and exploiting illiterate and backward villagers, who were tribes and backward down trodden communities including village artisans like pot makers, Iron smiths, Carpenters and tailors etc.

There was one GRAM PANCHAYAT (G.P.) (Govt. approved village Governing body) and one Farmers Cooperative. G.P. was responsible to provide land to small petty traders and village artisans to run their trade but due to corruption, eligible were unable to get any plot. G.P. was not doing his duty properly and villagers were facing sanitation, light and drinking water problems. All schools were also in poor condition and streets and roads were useless. By this way, complete Panchyat system was pralised and villagers were in big trouble.

Other side local cooperative was exploiting it’s member farmers and not giving seed and fertilizer in time. Treasurer of coop was cheating to members in loan recoveries. Coop was diverted from it’s objectives.

GVS fully involved in relief and development of down trodden classes and got success as follows-
(a)Village Panchayat become active and transparent and started giving response to voiceless people.
(b)Sanitation and lighting condition improved in town.
(c)Poor village artisans and petty traders got commercial plots in main market, at bus stand and other important places on nominal charges or economical rent basis.
(d)Banks and cooperatives started helping poor farmers and village artisans.
(e)Police and other Govt. agencies become alert and started listening to ordinary man.
(f)Corrupt practices controlled and Govt. officials have changed their attitude and behaviour with common man.
