<p class="MsoNormal">The Gopikabai Sitaram Gawande (GSG) College is a rural academic institution located in the town of Umarked in the Yavatmal District, a rural and underserved region of Maharashtra, India. The College is located near the natal village of
Dr. Atmaram Gawande. Since 1985 Drs. Sushila and Atmaram Gawande, longtime active community members and physicians in Athens, Ohio have supported GSG college through funding and service, often enlisting the help of friends, family, and civic organizations
in the United States and India. In recognition of the Gawande family’s support, the College was renamed in honor of Dr. Atmaram Gawande’s mother. Following Dr. Atmaram Gawande’s death in 2011, his family established a fund through Ohio University to support
a partnership between the two universities. The partnership between Ohio University (OU) and GSG College was officially initiated to in 2012 on the occasion of Dr. Ram Gawande’s birthday celebration on the GSG College campus. Funds to support the partnership
are made available through the GSG College Support Fund, established by the Gawande family to honor Dr. Atmaram Gawande. Oversight for the Fund is provided through the Center for International Studies.<o:p></o:p></p>
