WHY RURAL INDIA?
- Nearly two-thirds of India’s population (68.6%) lives in rural areas, where over 70% of livelihoods are linked to farming and agriculture. Strengthening rural systems isn’t just about improving villages — it’s about supporting the foundation of India’s economy and wellbeing.
- Water access and sanitation gaps in villages reduce quality of life, trigger health problems, kind of trap communities in poverty, and make migration more likely as people look for better options.
- Investment in villages (water, education, health) is essentially investing in prevention—keeping communities resilient, thereby reducing migration pressure, improving livelihoods, maintaining local skills, and strengthening the rural economy.
MULTI STAKEHOLDER INVOLVEMENT
True village transformation is possible only when every part of the ecosystem works together. At the heart of Nabhangan’s approach is collaboration — bringing together communities, governments, technical experts, and corporate partners to create sustainable and systemic impact. Each stakeholder plays a vital role: villagers lead with local knowledge and ownership; government bodies provide policy support and infrastructure; CSR partners support with funding; knowledge institutions bring research and expertise; and the Nabhangan team facilitates coordination, transparency, and long-term sustainability. Together, we create thriving villages where water, education, and health systems strengthen one another ensuring families can stay, grow, and prosper where they belong.
COMMUNITY DRIVEN & HUMAN CENTERED APPROACH
How we work with our villages
Our approach is human centered and community driven. We make sure that the community is at the center of decision making since the first step. The human centred approach was the foundation of the methods we used to center the villagers and follow a process to make a sustainable impact
