Registered Public Charitable Trust · 12A & 80G Approved · FCRA Registered
About Us
A registered public charitable trust and society from Hirapur, Nashik, committed since 2010 to rural education, health, women's empowerment and a cleaner environment.
Our Story
Jai Hanuman Gramvikas Samajik & Shaikshanik Sanstha was founded in 2010 at Hirapur (Daraswadi) in Chandwad taluka of Nashik district, Maharashtra. It was registered as a society under the Societies Registration Act, 1860 on 29 November 2010 (MH/839/2010/Nashik) and as a public trust under the Bombay (now Maharashtra) Public Trusts Act, 1950 on 12 May 2011 (F-12594/Nashik).
The name reflects what we do: Gramvikas (village development), Samajik (social welfare) and Shaikshanik (education). Our founders saw young people leaving the village for want of good colleges, families travelling hours for basic treatment, and women with skills but no route to income. The Sanstha was formed to change that from within the community.
Today an eleven-member board of trustees guides our programmes, while our auditors, bankers and statutory registrations keep us accountable to donors, government and — above all — the families we serve.
What Guides Us
