In conjunction with the Activists for Social Alternatives (ASA), Grama Vidiyal takes on a variety of issues:
> LOBBYING AND ADVOCACY |
|
|
Grama Vidiyal addresses large scale social issues by leveraging the strength
of women federations promoted at different layers. Some significant themes
for advocacy campaigns in the past are alcoholism, violence on women and Dalits, land tenancy, exempting MFIs from interest rate ordinance etc. |

 |
|
All human are entitled to enjoy equal rights. However, human rights issues
take its origin when one particular community attempts to take upper hand by
prioritizing their rights over that of others. Grama Vidiyal puts serious
efforts to make an end to such issues in its operational areas by protecting
the rights of women, Dalits and bringing them to main stream society. |

assets. ASA-GV also strives to empower women politically by making them
participate in local body elections. |

The Dalit centred empowerment programs of GV aims at bringing about a
sustainable development in the lives of Dalits. By creating awareness on the
