Our Campus

Sampark is based at Sampark Gram, between Petlawad and Raipuria. The complex includes office, guest house, and mess blocks forming a U-shape. The office and guest house are two-storey buildings, while the mess block is single-storey. The office has many rooms and training halls, is computerized, and equipped with modern communication tools and training equipment. The guest house has six rooms on the ground floor and the first floor is currently used as a school. The mess provides traditional local vegetarian food. Library and entertainment facilities are available for staff and guests.

The organization has sufficient vehicles, including two-wheelers and four-wheelers, for field visits. Sampark Gram is environmentally friendly, with a 4 KW solar power panel meeting the office’s electricity needs and a rainwater harvesting system collecting about 300,000 liters of water for use during summers. It does not have a generator set on its premises, emphasizing its commitment to sustainability.
