Gramin Evam Samajik Vikas Sansthan (GSVS) works to educate, organise, and empower the rural poor to promote development as a liberating force aimed at social justice, economic growth, and self-reliance by strengthening the capacities of the Ajmer, Nagaur, Bhilwara, Rajsamand and Pali districts.

Some of their activities in 2012-13 were as follows:

• Goat Based Livelihood Development Project: This programme works to reduce the mortality rates of goats and increase the income of poor people through goat rearing by using optimum ways of providing food and shelter to goats. The organisation helps by conducting immunizations, de-worming awareness, through financial inclusion by providing loans, advice on balanced fodder preparation, and advisory services for the buying and selling of goats.
• Migration Population Support Programme: The organisation works to build awareness for youth and women migrants on contagious diseases, bank services, insurance policies, their rights, and provide counselling as well as information about government schemes.
• Women Self Help Groups: The organisation started the Self-Help Group (SHG) program to prevent the exploitation of poor families by moneylenders and provide women with more knowledge management. They give financial awareness and capacity building training so that women are enabled to become self-sufficient, earning members of society.
