Program

It is said if the foundation is built strong, nothing can weaken the building. With a similar vision in mind, Cluster Village Development Programme was formed for an express mission of:

Empowering communities and creating opportunities for the underprivileged in order to facilitate a well-built foundation.
Creating new innovative precedents in the realm of nurturing talent.
Facilitating integrated growth of villages and holistic development of underprivileged communities.
Transforming the identified cluster of villages into vibrant “model villages”.
Promoting these active, diverse and prosperous rural model villages as an easily replicable model for the development of other rural communities precisely on six major development areas: social, economic, environmental, health, education and skill development.
