Social Service in Gorakhpur | Reputed NGO in Gorakhpur

PGSS had its origin after long birth pangs due to charity and welfare approaches of development. Down through the years, our area in and around Gorakhpur witnessed this 'band-aid' development which could not heal the wounds of exploitation, lopsided development and various discriminations. As a panacea to this age old problems faced by the poorest people, our pioneers developed a vision for a new Society based on justice, equality and fullness of life for all. Thus the Purvanchal Gramin Seva Samiti (PGSS) came into existence and got registered as a Social Service Society in August 1986.

Under the leadership of Most. Rev. Bp. Dominic Kokkat CST and Rev. Fr. Joseph Melettukochiyil CST - the then President and Secretary of the organization, the Society initiated Adult Education on the lines of Paulo Friere and community health education in selected 20 villages of Desai Deoria Block in Deoria District. Soon a band of SRA Sisters (Sisters of the Queen of the Apostles) of Varanasi Province joined the Organization. Based in Deoria, the Society made inroads into the lives of broken people who have experienced the bitterness of exploitation and discrimination at various levels.
