Founded in 1983 in Rajasthan, CUTS International started as a rural development communication initiative called Gram Gadar. This monthly wall newspaper has been crucial in providing a platform for oppressed classes to seek justice. The organization's work extends beyond bilateral matters, addressing economic policy impacting US-India relations in the broader Indo-Pacific and South-North engagement. CUTS International aims to combat misery caused by a lack of awareness and strives for social justice, economic equality, and environmental balance.
