Green Institute for Research & Development

GREEN INSTITUTE FOR RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT (GIRD) is a non-profit Non-Governmental Organization (NGO).

Established in 1996, GIRD works for the protection of environment and promotion of environment-friendly products and practices. Recognizing an essential conflict between the protection of environment and the developmental needs of the people, we also undertake programmes for socio-economic development of the disadvantaged sections of the people, particularly in the areas of education, health and nutrition, housing, sanitation and economic empowerment and advocate sustainable developmental goals.

Empowering Girl Students and Women of Poor Socio-Economic Background in Ballimaran Area of Old Delhi

With the CSR support from Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL), we have launched a significant programme aimed at empowering girls students and women of disadvantaged background in the Ballimaran area of Old Delhi. This initiative directly benefitted about 2500 girl students by improving the learning environment in their schools and 100 women by providing them sewing machines for their self-employment.
