GRAMA SEVA
• Villages have been the life line of our Country protecting our
Ancient and Noble Culture, Heritage, Traditions and Values.
• More than 75% of our population lives in Villages.
• Even after 60 years of Independence our villages are still
crippled with several problems like Illiteracy, Illness,
Ignorance, Social Evils, Poverty, Unemployment, Scarce
Drinking Water, Shelter, Roads and other amenities.
• Its our collective responsibility to address these problems and
work for betterment of our villages.
• Bhagavan has been continuously guiding and directing us to
focus our service activities towards this objective of Improving
life in Villages.
Bhagavan’s Upadesh
on Grama Seva
•Bhagavan in all His mercy has given us
Divine Guidelines on the ‘how’ of Grama
Seva.
•Over the years He has indicated many
aspects to be carefully followed while doing
Grama Seva.
Swami’s Focus
In His Ugadi message of 2007, Swami
highlighted the importance of the FAMILY
as the Basic Unit of Society, whether in
the Village, Town or City.
He instructed us to concentrate on the
FAMILY in our Grama Seva Activity.
Goals of Grama Seva
• Villages during Grama Seva should be
viewed from both the Micro level and the
Macro level.
• The activities undertaken should be on a
Sustained Basis.
• Service Activities should be planned for
Comprehensive Integrated Development.

VILLAGE INTEGRATED
PROGRAMME
Bhagavan Baba said that
Our Grama Seva activity should be
focused on the Holistic Development
of the Family and thereby of the
Village, District and the State.
This will be called the
Village Integrated Programme

Grama Seva at Present
• A Village is selected for rendering Seva
after conducting a survey and interacting
with the Panchayat President and other
elders. The activities consist of Medical
Camps, Veterinary Camps, Temple
cleaning, Bhajan Centres, Balvikas etc.
• We also provide some village specific
utility services like Bore Well, Overhead
Tank, Roads, Sanitation etc.
Points of Emphasis in Grama Seva
at Present
• Focus is on the total Village - Medical Camps,
Veterinary Camps, Bhajan Mandali, Balvikas etc.
are done on this basis.
• Focus is not on the Family, its problems, needs
(material and psychological) etc.
• No records of the family members are kept on a
continuous basis.
• In many cases the activity is a one-shot affair
and not on a sustained basis.

can serve every Family in a Holistic manner.

Love and Shramadan to give them selfconfidence and hope.
