History
Man by nature, is a social and political animal. He cannot live by bread alone. Like a child deprived of
mothers handling, develops psychological and physical problems in an adult, like a solitary confinement
being a punishment most severe, social interaction is an inevitable ingredient of civilized society.

After the search for food and shelter man yearns for recognition in the society he lives in. In a latter
stage he seeks manifestation/realization of the mission of his life. There he doesn’t think of the material
returns and wok selflessly to pay back something to the society which developed him to the present
status. Helping the needy, serving to eradicate the suffering of the downtrodden becomes prime
importance to him. Its here he feels Giants provide a Universal platform where he can meet many
thinking on the common cause and transform that thinking to action.

Those to whom life has been kind should not accept this good fortune as a matter of course, but it’s
one’s duty to think continually of those who have been denied this privilege.

With this one thought in mind Giants International was formally launched in Bombay in 1972. An Active
and Service Oriented group of individuals under the leadership of Shri Nana Chudasama got together
to start a service organization which would work towards the betterment of society and the upliftment of
the poor and underprivileged, with the ultimate goal of blossoming into a truly International Service
Organization. Nana was the only one who was sheriff in the Mumbai for 2 years in the row.

Giants International is India’s first International Service Organization. The foundation and basis of this
movement were the courage of conviction, moral leadership and intellectual integrity of the Indian
people in accepting Giants as an organization which would work towards bettering world communities,
deriving its strength from compassion and virtue to always bring good cheer and hope in the community.

WHAT GIANTS STANDS FOR

Each letter is significant in the word ‘G I A N T S’. It is an acronym and stands for Generosity, Integrity,
Action, Nobility, Truthfulness and Service. These qualities are manifestations of good solid citizenship.
Each member of the organization is expected to live up to these ideals.

GIANTS movement provides its members an ideology base and organization platform to enable citizens
to play their role for community welfare. Every good citizen wishes to do some useful social services.
Giants translate that wish into will.

Every citizen has a responsibility to contribute and do something which goes beyond the welfare and
happiness of his own family. Our member makes a commitment that with Generosity in his heart and
with Integrity as his guide, he shall carry out his Actions and with Nobility in his heart and Truth as his
guide he shall do service that he shall be G I A N T S.
