Networking

Creating linkages with other organizations or groups working in rural development is essential to the success of Gram Chetna Kendra’s projects and through these links; we have been able to jointly implement a number of projects that would have otherwise been impossible. As well, collaborating with other institutions in order to spread awareness, gather knowledge and exchange information has been crucial to the success of each of our own projects.

In particular our efforts to network extend in two directs, towards official government bodies and to other NGOs working in the field. We have developed excellent relations with government departments such as the Departments of Health and Family Welfare, Education, Womanand  Child Development, NRHM, Rajasthan State AIDS Control Society (RSACS) and of Rural Development.

Similarly, our organization has allied itself with various NGOs in order to engage local stakeholders in the development process and guarantee sustainability for our programs.
