Gramodaya Samajik Sansthan (GSS) is a nonprofit society registered in 1989 under the Rajasthan Society Registration Act, headquartered in Chaksu, Jaipur district, and operating across 15+ districts of Rajasthan with secondary presence in Haryana and select other Indian states. The organization runs a portfolio of rural development programs targeting marginalized farming households, rural women, school-age children, and migrants, delivered through a community-based model that works through Panchayati Raj Institutions, Self Help Groups (SHGs), and field offices. GSS reports a beneficiary reach of more than 1,00,000 households and a professional staff complement of approximately 89 personnel.

GSS's service portfolio spans six program verticals: (i) healthcare delivery, anchored by three telemedicine centers (Chaksu, Unniara, Daulatpura) — which GSS claims make it the first NGO in Rajasthan to deploy telemedicine — together with a Vision Care Centre, a Community Health Care Centre, and an emergency ambulance service; (ii) natural resource management and water harvesting, including anicuts, farm ponds, and an Integrated Water Resource Management project across 461 Gram Panchayats in Nagaur; (iii) women's empowerment through SHG formation, banking linkages, and a SHG-owned sanitary pads social enterprise; (iv) education via Resource Centres in 13 government schools enrolling 540 girls; (v) wildlife conservation of the Great Indian Bustard in Jaisalmer; and (vi) digital inclusion through the DRUV project in partnership with Tata Trusts covering 878 households.

GSS is funded primarily through project-tied CSR contributions from a small set of corporate donors (United Spirits Limited / Diageo India, Canon India, Tata Trusts), grants from bilateral/multilateral and government agencies (NABARD, Rajasthan State AIDS Control Society, State Water Resources Department, IIHMR, CAF India), and individual donations accepted through its website beginning at ₹400. It holds 12A and 80G tax-exemption certificates and FCRA registration enabling cross-border donations.
