Bosco Gramin Vikas Kendra is a NGO working in rural development,  since 1988; and it  is registered in 1994 with Charity Commissioner, Ahmednagar (No. F 2657, 13.03.1994).  The main aim of development work is to uplift the poor rural mass and bring in social justice.  The agriculture being the main occupation of the rural people, efforts are made to improve agricultural production, with more focus on rural poor; and village women.  Therefore BGVK has worked in following areas

  i.  Watershed Development

  ii.  Self Help Groups of Rural Women.

  iii.  Self Help Groups of Rural Youths

In watershed development, soil and water conservation works and related development works were completed in 22 villages.  Tree plantation on hill slopes, construction of check dams and nala bunds helped in preventing soil erosion and storing surface runoff.  The horticultural plantation helped poor and marginal farmers in bringing marginal land in use and in making economic development.  The use of drip and sprinkler units not only saved water available but enabled the poor farmers in taking up crops in summer, which in turn, helped them in fetching more price for their produce in market. 

Activity like bio-gas plants made best use of animal waste and gave fuel gas to poor families.  This helped in reducing felling of trees for fuel and improved health condition of women and children.  In the 22 villages irrigation was available to only 9 percent of cultivated land, but after watershed development works this increased to 26 percent in each village, on an average.  Apart from economic development, social development was achieved for poor rural families.
