Gram Seva Samiti

Gram Seva Samiti is based out in Village Gramshir. Our post office is Ranigram and we are in the Barharwa area. It is a quiet place where life moves a bit slower than in the big cities. We work out of a small building that stays cool even when the sun is really hot outside. There are fields all around us. Most of our day is spent talking to the local people who live in the nearby villages. We don’t have fancy computers or high-speed internet that works all the time. Instead, we have notebooks and pens and a lot of conversations. People walk in through the door at all hours to ask for help or just to share some news. We listen to what they have to say and try to figure out how to help with the resources we have. It’s honest work. We don't wear suits or ties here. Usually, it's just plain clothes that can handle a bit of dirt from the road. Sometimes we have to travel to the post office in Ranigram to send out letters or collect supplies. The roads are bumpy, but it’s a nice drive through the countryside. We are just a group of people trying to do something useful for our own community. It’s not a complicated setup, but it’s what we know. We close up when the light fades and head home.
