GRAMIN UDAY FOUNDATION

In their own words

Gramin Uday Foundation (GUF) is dedicated to empowering rural communities through sustainable agricultural ventures. With a focus on inclusive growth, we work at the grassroots level to uplift farmers and marginalized groups by creating better market linkages and value-added opportunities in agriculture. Our initiative starts by directly procuring local paddy from farmers in rice-producing regions, ensuring fair pricing and eliminating middlemen. This produce is then distributed to rice-deficient areas, rice mills, murmura/flex mills, and other rice-based industries. To support this, we will establish storage facilities (godowns), providing employment opportunities to landless laborers for their livelihood. Further, we will set up a hi-tech rice mill to process and package premium-quality rice under our own brand, catering to both local markets and high-demand regions. For this operation, women from self-help groups (SHGs) will be employed, fostering women’s empowerment and economic independence. At Gramin Uday Foundation, we combine agriculture with social impact — aiming for rural prosperity, women’s empowerment, and inclusive economic growth.
