Welcome to

Ahilyadevi Holkar Gramin Vikas Sevabhavi Sanstha

Ahilyadevi Holkar Gramin Vikas Sevabhavi Sanstha was founded in 2015 with a deep belief that true rural development begins with water security, community participation, and local leadership.
Our inspiration comes from the visionary work of Ahilyadevi Holkar, who, centuries ago, strengthened Maharashtra by investing in water storage systems — stepwells, tanks, canals, and community water structures that sustained both people and agriculture. Her understanding that water is the foundation of life and prosperity continues to guide our work today.
Our journey began as a response to the realities we witnessed in villages — farmers facing unpredictable rainfall, wells drying earlier each year, women walking long distances for water, and communities becoming more vulnerable to climate uncertainty.
Rather than offering short-term relief, we chose to focus on long-term resilience by working with communities to revive water resources, promote sustainable farming, protect local ecology, and strengthen rural livelihoods.

About The Founder President

Ahilyadevi Holkar Gramin Vikas Sevabhavi Sanstha

At the heart of our organization lies a simple yet powerful belief — sustainable development begins with empowered communities. With this vision, our organization was founded to work closely with rural and marginalized communities to improve their quality of life through inclusive and people-centric development.
Our focus areas include natural resource management, climate-resilient agriculture, health and nutrition, education, livelihood promotion, and income generation. We believe that long-term change is possible only when communities are actively involved in identifying their needs, planning solutions, and leading implementation.

Over the years, we have emphasized sustainability, transparency, and grassroots participation in all our initiatives. By strengthening local capacities, promoting environmentally responsible practices, and supporting vulnerable groups, we aim to create resilient villages and self-reliant families.

This journey would not be possible without the dedication of our team, the trust of the communities we serve, and the support of our partners and well-wishers. Together, we remain committed to building a future where development is equitable, dignified, and sustainable for all.
