Gramin Jan Kalyan Sansthan was founded by students of NITs as a non-governmental and non-profit organization. It was formally registered under Societies registration Act, 1860 on 18th February 2020. The objective was to spread computer literacy in rural areas. Over the time Gramin Jan Kalyan Sansthan has gone through transformation from providing free computer education to facilitating formation of women only SHGs for sustainable livelihood. Because someone has rightly said
भूखे भजन न होय गोपाला ले तेरी कंठी ले तेरी माला (bhukhe bhajan na hoy gopala le teree kanthi le teree maala)
