Seva Mandir helps rural villagers come together to address the issues they face in their day-to-day lives. Village Development Committees collect and channel funds for the overall development of the village.
Challenge
Local rural communities often have little access to government schemes and are left out of the development process. This keeps them backward and hinders their growth. In this environment, individual interests often take precedence over community interests.
Long-Term Impact
The communities will be self-reliant in managing their resources and addressing their problems. They will also gain greater bargaining power as they collaborate, negotiate and come up with solutions.
