That was the beginning of the Gandhi Rural Rehabilitation Centre (GRRC). It started as a weaving workshop and a weavers’ training center. With the years, the activities of GRRC diversified in answer to the needs and requests of the villagers. In December1983, GRRC was registered as a Society under the Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act 1975.
