Gandhigram Rural Institute: Immediately after Independence, there were many associates and followers of Gandhiji who wanted to pursue his vision of a rural India and its re-construction.Gandhigram is one such initiative. It came into existence in 1947 through the efforts of Dr. T.S. Soundram and Dr.G.Ramachandran who wanted to create a model that would concentrate on the complete development of the human being. Our work till now has translated into:
Providing access to affordable essential services to the rural community in health, education and social welfare
Co-creating knowledge with the communities leveraging their traditional strengths, and make them applicable for modern times
Ultimately strengthening the community by facilitating economic development programmes, creating livelihood opportunities and self-managed development programmes
Tharagai has been associated with Gandhigram since 2014.
