Founded on January 14, 1997, the Village Development Society (VDS) is a collective of young farmers, professionals, and NGO members dedicated to empowering marginalized communities. Our mission focuses on promoting legal awareness and driving improvements in health, education, livelihoods, and gender equality.
Operating primarily in Haridwar and nearby districts, VDS addresses critical social issues through youth-led initiatives, emphasizing education, health, and women’s empowerment. Despite limited resources at the start, our efforts have expanded across Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh, reaching underserved communities in multiple districts.
Supported by central and state programs like Swajal and recognized by organizations such as NABARD, NRHM, and DRDA, VDS continues to foster sustainable development, striving for a more equitable society.
