Girijana Vikas Swatchanda Seva Samstha (GVSSS) is a grassroots nonprofit working since 2001 to empower tribal and rural communities in Andhra Pradesh. Based in G.K. Veedhi, we operate across eight mandals in Alluri Sitarama Raju and Visakhapatnam districts, reaching some of the most remote villages.
Our mission is to uplift PTGs, STs, SCs, and other marginalized groups by improving their livelihoods, health, education, and quality of life through sustainable and inclusive development.
With over 20 years of impactful service, GVSSS focuses on natural resource management, organic farming, climate-resilient practices, and social empowerment. Our key initiatives include securing land rights, promoting sustainable agriculture, ensuring education for tribal children, advancing women’s empowerment, and expanding healthcare and sanitation access — all aimed at building self-reliant and resilient communities.
