About Our Trust

Logo
✦ A Public Charitable Trust

Rooted in Service, Growing with Purpose

Ganga Krishna Educational and Rural Development Trust (R) was founded in 2018–19 by a group of committed young professionals and social workers with a shared vision to make a meaningful impact in underserved communities across Karnataka.

For over 8 years, we have been actively working towards the holistic development of women and children in rural areas through social, educational, and skill development initiatives. Under the PM Vishwakarma Scheme, we have established three training centres and provided vocational skill training to nearly 5,000 beneficiaries.
