Our Story
GRINista was started as a project during the COVID-19 in 2021 by Suraj Singh when he had recognized the need to distribute food among the local underprivileged community who were struggling to get even 1-2 times of their meal in a day during the lockdown period. This way it started as a project to distribute food and old clothes to the needy people.
The same period of distributing food, clothes was life changing because of the experiences it delivered but prominently talking with the people has served as base of the deep insights that could be made use for the society back to back again. Besides this, to our surprise, we were unaware that we would be getting plenty of support from many of the people around us who used to witness our activity initially in our small closed circle of acquaintances. The proposal to help this initiative with cash or kind, people came forward with whatever capacity they could. By this we were now sure and confident how It was just a start by few young students, continuing with it during the period, and we gathered support for all the efforts and here proved yet again good people are always there to support good causes!
After serving for a period of a few months, the associated lockdown was bound to end, and it did end. This marked the end of our regular food/clothes distribution drives that were operational. But the motto to serve the society could not end. These few months ignited in us a spirit to create a robust system which can cast an impact which would be sustainable and long term in its very nature. This time with its pivoted form, GRINista was initiated to cast an even bigger impact and that’s how our current journey at GRINista has begun!
How we Work at GRINista
Today we are a team of 100+ of young, humane, talented individuals who have joined hands together to contribute their part in the noble mission of sustainable development that we are trying to achieve. Following are the SDGs that define and can sum up what we do primarily at GRINista: SDG 4, SDG 8 and SDG 13
GRINista has been able to impact thousands of people through offline direct channels and even more than that through online medium of communication where we have been able to cast substantial impact in the process.
Here is the detail of our current functionality that consists of 3 key areas:
1. Aware
We believe that an informed society can become a responsible society. In our journey of promoting sustainable development, this is the first step that is crucial for the change to take place. Awareness turns into action!
So the awareness that we do. This is done through several online channels e.g. our sustainability newsletters, Website articles, editorials, sustainability cartoons, social media handles, etc to create more awareness about sustainability and its happenings around.
2. Engage
We frequently organise events, competitions, sessions, webinars, either individual or in collaboration with different groups, societies, etc for Engagement with the cause of Sustainability.
Under this segment only comes our drives like tree plantation drives, workshops, etc and by this we try to have the direct most impact that we can cast upon.
3. Intervene
At GRINista, we are aware of the power of what good research holds. We have our team of young minds at GRINista which collectively tries to come out with practical solutions to different problems around us. We do research on topics that are igniting topics around us and working on which can open avenues for execution and proper practical implementation post research.
If the initial pilot of the research work seems working or if our solution approach seems appealing we propose for intervention by public or private organisations or individuals.
If you have any sort of query or suggestions for us to work upon or any other points that we must listen, use the contact us button how you can do it. We always welcome your suggestions and would love to know what you think on it. Thankyou for reading so far, thankyou so much for your constant support.
