Everyday practice

Life at Gramshree

Gramshree operates with the mission of the holistic development of women. Therefore, each programme and its ideas are conceived around certain fundamental values. These are carefully woven into each individual connected to the organisation.

  1. An all-religion prayer

    A typical day at Gramshree begins with an all-religion prayer, seeding a sense of unity in every individual’s heart.

  2. Reading and sharing

    It is followed by inspirational, educational and value-adding readings, while everyone expresses their views and thoughts on the subject presented.

    This practice helps improve the reading and listening capacities of women and encourages them to discuss their ideas and share their thoughts.

  3. Yoga and meditation

    Making yoga, meditation and reading a daily habit for women elevates their way of being.

  4. Flexible timings

    Women at Gramshree work flexible hours, so they can focus on both their families and their work.

These methods help women elevate their focus and creativity, and also enhance their mental capabilities.

What we live by

Our Principles

Through our work to empower women, we have recognised these three principles as fundamental to Gramshree. We challenge ourselves to ensure that each of our actions builds on these principles.

01

Care and Share

We inspire our people to take part in practices that ignite a human’s fundamental generosity, thus catalysing holistic development.

02

Practice of Prayer

One of the core practices of our ecosystem is that we begin our day with an all-religion prayer and meditation to spur inner peace.

03

Small Act of Kindness

Our value-based ecosystem encourages our team to spread kindness through various small yet impactful acts, amplifying deeper acts of kindness.
