Poverty and poor health have been the focal problems of the people in the Purvanchal area. The root cause of poverty is limited financial resources, large family size, illiteracy, unemployment, social discrimination, lack of equity, and social injustice. Sustainable development of the community was required for resolving these issues. Considering this a group of young people inspired by Gandhian ideology came together and formed Sadbhawana Gramin Vikas Sansthan on 1^st May 2003.
