Om Gramoudhyog Sewa Sansthan

Our office is on the fourth floor over on the Hapur - Meerut Road. We are in Village Dheerkhera, near Dadri. Om Gramoudhyog Sewa Sansthan is mostly about rural industry and helping out with local work. Being on the fourth floor means we have to climb a lot of stairs if the power goes out, but it gives us a good look over the village and the road. It’s a bit of a trek for some folks to come out here, but we have been part of the community for quite some time. The work we do is pretty grounded. We spend a lot of time talking to local people and trying to organize small-scale production or services. It is not a shiny office with air conditioning everywhere; it is a working space where people drop in to talk and drink chai. We have files stacked up on the tables and a few old fans that keep the air moving. Dheerkhera is a quiet place mostly, though the Hapur - Meerut Road always has trucks rumbling by. We aren't trying to be a massive NGO with a fancy mission statement; we just want to provide some service to the village and keep the Gramoudhyog spirit alive. It is a lot of paperwork and manual coordination, but it feels right to be doing it here. We just take it one day at a time, trying to be useful to those around us.
