Certificate of Registration has been obtained under Section 60 vide Registration No. 1782 in additional Book No. 4 Vol No 2617 on page 1 to 16 on 13/04/2009, (Monday) by the Sub Registrar I, New Delhi.

2. Statement of the Problem, that GOWO intends to tackle : - Govt. Officers and employees forget their own identity during the course of their service and only on retirement are faced with this enormous reality that they don’t even have their own homes. Homes in the right cities where their children can study & work or homes in the right places where they can spend their post retirement life in peace and dignity. This happens because land is a state subject and the centre holds no land. Land is either bought from farmers or developers or allotted by state Govts. It is therefore extremely difficult to get land to form societies where personnel and officers of similar backgrounds and like minded people can live. The aim of this organization is to provide safe, comfortable and low cost mass housing to govt employees, officers, their dependants and families. The essential theme being low cost and mass housing. GOWO endeavours to provide affordable housing to retired and retiring Govt. officials, to enable them to settle down after retirement. This is done by tying up with various builders and developers. GOWO doesn’t construct any properties on its own.

3.  Buying a comfortable and affordable house is getting more and more challenging these days. For ex-servicemen or those still serving, it becomes extremely imperative to put their hard earned money in trustworthy hands. We at GOWO try to be transparent with all our transactions. The aim of GOWO is to provide low cost, mass & affordable housing & welfare measures to all Officers & personnel being paid salaries or pensions from the Govt budget.
