GRAM Association
About
GRAM (Groundwater & Reforestation Adaptive Management) Association was founded in 2019 by Shashank, an SBI Youth Fellow who spent years at Barefoot College Tilonia. Inspired by a woman in rural India who said 'Agar kuch karna hi hai, to paani ke liye karo', Shashank rode his motorcycle across 13 states on a mission he named 'Harvesting the Heaven'. Today GRAM bridges indigenous wisdom with modern innovation to empower low-resource communities across livelihoods, water, agriculture, healthcare and education — fully aligned to the UN SDGs.
