GIBV Initiatives

GIBV aims to empower people in villages and slums of India by providing access to basic tools for a healthy and productive life. Our service portfolio includes projects ranging from most basic needs of ordinary people to their socio-economic leadership growth leading to their holisitic advancement (known as ‘vikas’). Our ultimate objective is to help people help themselves.

Farmer Empowerment

Besides providing basic needs of a rural area/slum, GIBV’s Rural Empowerment is geared towards an education that leads to self-unfoldment that touches the inner being of a person. This education teaches students the importance of their actions in the development of the nation. True Rural Empowerment should lead to सामाजिक समरसता (social harmony); GIBV plans to use AIREP model of education to bring about the social transformation through self-unfoldment and social harmony.

ABOUT US

Many of us were born in India, many are not – but we feel the connection, the bond for Mother India. We would like to give back or simply do something to uplift our brothers and sisters who are not as privileged. Global Indians for Bharat Vikas (GIBV) was established in September 2013 to bring about organic changes and grass roots development for a large population of rural & urban India. Our unique approach is to EMPOWER the locals. Let them decide what they need. In collaboration with AIREP (All India Rural Empowerment Programme) & IQG (Innovative Quality Group) in India and GIBC (Global Indian Business Council) in USA we provide logistics, resources and support to various projects and activities. GIBV is actively networking with like-minded groups across the globe.
