Social Reconstruction in Chitrakoot
Chitrakoot, it is a challenging summation of the experiments
conducted and the experiences gained through the earlier ventures Gonda and
Beed. Chitrakoot is a small township bordering UP and MP, 120 miles south of Allahabad.
.The villages around are predominantly tribal and backward in spite of the
availability of rich resources like forest wealth and agricultural products.
Lord Ram started upliftment of the downtrodden from this historic place.
Chitrakoot Gramodaya was established on 12th February 1991
and Shri Nanaji provided his leadership and guidance for three and half years
as chancellor. This is the first rural University in India with twenty
faculties providing facilities for higher education. After some time some
section of society grew jealous and the funding was stopped by the then
government for unnecessary reasons, Nanaji graciously relinquished the office
of chancellor and transferred all assets of the University to the state government
in the larger interest of students and teaching and non-teaching staff.
