We are a not-for-profit NGO working in the fields of all-round rural development and community building to empower villages and make them self-reliant. We believe that villages are the roots of our society. Indian villages have glued the country together for centuries by being self-sufficient. Currently, they are being rapidly uprooted as 833 million rural Indians are facing an extremely painful transformation. And as has been famously said, “If villages perish, India perishes too.”
