GREHA

In 1999, Greha established itself in Aya Nagar, a village situated on the Southwestern edge of Delhi. Greha's early engagement with the community of Aya Nagar to design an action plan for physical and social transformation led to formulation of the Aya Nagar Whole Village Development Plan. The Chief Minister of Delhi, Shrimati Sheila Dikshit, visited Aya Nagar in 1999 and Greha presented the Plan to her. She declared Aya Nagar suitable for development as a 'model village' and identified the Plan as central to such a transformation... Since its inception in 1974, Greha has concentrated on the growth of knowledge in the field of environmental development, habitat design and architecture. The thrust of Greha's efforts have been towards addressing issues of the majority of the population; the focus was the marginalised people in rural and urban settlements; the vehicle was developing knowledge and methodologies concerning settlement systems more suited to our history and cultural context.
