Welcome to PGSS
Purvanchal Gramin Seva Samiti
(PGSS), the Social Service Unit of the Catholic Diocese of Gorakhpur, was
established in the year 1986 as one of the flagship units of the Catholic
Diocese of Gorakhpur with the vision of having a society based on justice,
gender equity and fullness of life for all. Since its inception, PGSS has been
working towards Empowerment of the Marginalized especially the Dalits, Women and
Children through a process of awareness, organization, advocacy and collective
actions for raising their socio-political, educational, economic, health status
and promotion of safe environment.
The year 2011-12 marks the 'Silver Jubilee Year' of the establishment of PGSS and
during these past years, we have developed a strong resource base for capacity
building of various stakeholders across the seven districts of Gorakhpur and
Basti Division.
