We are delighted to present our annual report ending 31March 2012, An overview of what (Parivartan Grameen Samaj Sevi Sansthan) means not only to us. but also to our supporters and our targeted beneficiaries the years of our growth, we believe that various problems that the society faces are interconnected-poverty and illiteracy, un-employment, social injustice and middle class apathy, health and environmental degradation, Degrading Education System and Migration
People in the hills of Uttrakhand "especially woman, children & youth" are left behind & aloof in these beautiful Himalayan hill tracks, which are undoubtedly beautiful but toughest to survive without modern amenities. Women are the core factor of the economy here, but they have no financial authority to use a single penny without the consent of the mail member of their family. They work since the beginning till the last hour of the day. Water, food, fuel and fodder are the basic requirement of their households around what their whole life is spinning. A requirement to liberate that "NARI" from the shackles of a kind of slavery they have been living not for years but generations, that was a dream to build a safe & sound society for children, where they could posses what they require from education to basic amenities. A society with ample opportunities for the youth doesn't migrate from here, and save the families, villages, the society and the hills of Garhwal from destruction. Education level is higher in comparison of other states of India. Even then there is more unemployment and migration but why?
Lack of equal opportunities of education, professional trainings, and the human resource of the area is left behind to show its skills here and in the cities and towns. The organization set its goal to start an education centre for these left behinds and a vision to return a son to their old parents back.
There is a strong requirement of socio-economic and political development of the people of this area. Dairy, poultry, horticulture, floriculture, fishery, bee keeping, art and craft with local material, farming of medicinal plants and use of barren land to grow cash crops with sustainability of environment friendly, could be the best means of economic development of the people. Value added education to young and skill development programs to youths are the basic objectives of the organization. To achieve these objectives he welcomed like mind devoted youth and people of the area to come forth for the society. The targeted mission was for women empowerment, child development & youth development. Old people of the area are all alone here without any care, now the organization is trying to give them a platform where they could not only live peacefully but guide new generation with their life experience. They have been working for rural drinking water and sanitation because without this essential requirement there could not be any development in rural health. Environmental development is the basic requirement of the time because decreasing water table is an alarming signal to reaming people of the area. To plant a tree is not a first and foremost task but protect a tree sapling which is already in existence.
For what there must be some constructive and feasible ideas on which some practical actions are required, which may stop the brain drain from here? The Mother Nature is tough enough here but could be proved productive and capable to feed its generations. Migration is not an exact solution. There is an immense need of co-operation between the natural resources and the human resource of the area. No land is useless and every person is unit of energy. The requirement is the best management of this juncture.
To achieve all these parameters "PARIVARTAN" is formed to provide its services to all those people who need help and special attention, those who have desire to be changed but lacking the will and strength to achieve that change. Education in which Indian culture and identity of the Nation could be felt easily but which is not orthodox but open to new horizon, new means of development, respect to the elders and teachers, love to younger and heart throbbing feeling to the Nature and its habitats, which the organization wanted to set up.
This was the reason of the formation an organization and which laid the foundation of PARIVARTAN (Practical & Research in various Agricultural, Rural Technologies and Nature) Grameen Samaj Sevi Sanstha, Pauri Garhwal, Uttarakahnd, India.
India lives in her villages and we cannot rise to or true potential as a country without a fundamental transformation in the lives of people in rural India. At the PGSSS we believe that the partnership of rural India with the corporate, young urban India, the Government and other foundations or organization and individual is the key to create a permanent and irreversible change for good. We work:
To provide quality education to rural students.To encourage local rural people to stay back in their villages and refresh the rural society.To develop competitive rural soceiety to compete with the modern urban Society.To introduce modern quality education and opportunities to the rural societySurvival of the villages, family institution and human values.To develop natural resources through modernization in agriculture, horticulture, dairy, poultry, art and architecture of the area.To balance human resource and natural resources with sustainability.
Engage, Execute, Empower and Exit-to engage rural community with corporate, young urban India, not for profit organizations & government to execute programmes that empower the communities to transform their own lives, enabling us to exit and allowing them to serve as role models and change agents for the rest of the country.
Our strength is our dedicated team of members, teachers, volunteers, full time staff, field staff, donors and supporters. Dedication: The dedication of the team is such that, this team of teachers, volunteers are working in the area of rural social development from last 40 years.
Experience: Where the President and principal of PPS is having experience of 40 years of social service and 20 years in teaching at recognized institutions, other teachers and support staff is equally experienced and skilled in the best possible manner.
Parivartan started its formal education for specially focused on girls children because still in the socially backward families there is no prominence to educate them. No doubt the education ration definitely came up in comparison of last four-five decades but in the rural society still girls are not given similar opportunity of value based education because there is no other way to send them in that setup where modern ways of education is always absent. We started Parivartan Public School in 2015 in the remote hills of district Pauri Garhwal, Uttarakhand state of India to provide to some of them good quality education in the periphery of rural villages of Sitavan (Sitonsyun), Kot block free of cost. So come forward and help these children to bring them in the main stream of development of the country. We arranged computer lab and other facilities for them so they could get more opportunities to come forth in this competitive time. Your little help can change the life of these socially and economically backward children.
Parivartan Grameen Samaj Sevi Sanstha has been working for making the Earth green by planting more and more trees and invite people from the worldwide to support the programme. The water and the air will be core issues in the coming time so water conservation and regular plantation is needed to be done. We have been regularly planting trees on the hills of Pauri Garhwal. We are developing here mixed forestation and food forest for the sustainability and economically uplift of the dwellers. We are also developing fruit gardens with help of local horticulture department. Some people have joined us in this programme. Please come forward and join in this movement to plant more and more trees.
The hill people of Uttarakhand are facing massive migration since the formation of the state in the year 2000. The women, children and youth of poor class have no way to go out so facing so many problems. Parivartan has been working for them to motivate them to develop their economical condition by adopting new ways of empowerment. The SHGs has been formed in different government programmes and other programmes like COMDEKS of UNDP and NABARD to make them aware and avail funds for dairy, goat keeping, horticulture, spices farming.

Savita Singh Dawe
She is a Canadian citizen, now an NRI was born in a middle-class Garhwali family of lower caste. Her father was a clerk in government office and had a social taboo not to provide higher education to girls because there might be a restrain to find out a good groom for an educated girl in their own community, which she faced. But she had a passion for learning. At a young age she knew that when a girl attained education and empowerment she can make her own decisions not for only herself but for the society and can also try to raise the standard for living for herself, her children and those who have been deprived to do so.
She pursued B.A. from Punjab University, Chandigarh and MBA from Manipal University. After completing master’s degree, she spent 12 years in Dubai before embarking her journey to Canada. Now she is the head of Human Resource Department for a renowned real estate company.
She had a pain for a certain group of students of the area where she was born so one and half year ago she herself contacted Parivartan Grameen Samaj Sevi Sanstha, Pauri Garhwal and put a proposal to start a Scholarship Programme for students specially girls who are being left behind due to poverty and some other causes. The goal is that students always focused on getting education. She wants to pave the way for their higher education by introducing Parivartan Scholarship Program and it started in the year 2020-21. 10 students were selected in the merit but 23 students were supported with the amount she provided. Now the programme is continued for further years and will support to poor and talented girls of the area to make them capable to support their families as well as the society.
