Gram Foundation perceives every development issues as philosopher, thinker and analyst. Every human being possesses in born capacity to positively change his surrounding environment. Unfortunately hostile forces interwoven at different points make it difficult for him to achieve it. However, Gram Foundation has strategically believes in peoples’ participation at the grassroots level to plan for village development. The Gram Foundation model is based on the benefit that for villagers to be involved in community development efforts. They need to be organized in such a way that they can collect and collate their own data about their condition, and based upon data they can formulate plans at their continuous development process. Once they have decided what efforts need to be undertaken, they can call upon government officials to provide the services and assistance that will facilitate the implementation of their plan.

Decentralized planning requires that the collection of statistical and historical data must also be decentralized. Information should be collected not only by professional academics, planners and civil servants but also the local people themselves, who will initiate and implement the decentralized process of development. While the prime mover delineated this as the critical issue, started translating the idea into organizational shape. Gram Foundation from its’ inception in 2006 worked for the development of the society with active participation of villagers.
