In January 1978, the then US President Jimmy Carter along with his family visited the village with then Chief Minister of Haryana Devi Lal.
In 1978, it was renamed as Carterpuri in honour of the 39th United States President Jimmy Carter on the advice of then Indian Prime Minister Morarji Desai.
The first seed of its social involvement was sown in October 2008 when Rajesh Khullar, the then Commissioner of Gurgaon Municipal Corporation asked the Vishnu Charitable Trust, headed by Dr. Lokesh Abrol, to develop a shelter for stray cows with support from the civic body.
Aravindam Foundation, Haryali and Vishnu Caritable Trust joined hands under the Campaign: 'Let us learn to grow with our environment' to create greenery on that dump.
After completion of construction of the Gaushalas in 2012, the site office and temporary sheds have been set up to create Gurukul Kalpataru to serve as a place for non-formal education for the underprivileged children of Carterpuri.
