GVYT has become a synonymous with women’s empowerment, child labour rehabilitation etc. Working in some of the poorest districts of India, Madhubani, Darbhanga, Samastipur, Supaul, Sheohar and Sitamarhi (Bihar), GVYT had to face blockades at every step. The geographical terrain compounded by political apathy has led to many miseries in the region.
Due to the number of rivers, the region is flood prone, economically impoverished due to lack of industrial infrastructure, and finally lack of development due to political apathy. GVYT answered the need of the region for a strong willed organization to lift the morale of the people in general, empower the women subjected to suppression for centuries, child labour working in the local brick kilns and child labor, safe migration ,Income genaration, Community Empowerment, climate change, rampant human trafficking from Nepal and Bangladesh due to the proximity of the borders. GVYT has emerged as the only Resource Centre in this region on the social issues, it not only provides training to the partner NGOs and but also provides data to the funding organizations on the various issues of concern to them.
The organisation bases its efforts on the principles of Non-Violence, egalitarianism, Participatory democracy and internal self reliance that would ensure individual freedom, equity based social justice, women empowerment, communal harmony and means for decent living.
While encouraging and facilitating the entire society to attain developmental goals, the organisation focuses above all, on the marginal and excluded communities, who have been by passed by the recent prosperity and economic growth of the nation.
