Rural Development Projects - Nirman Abhiyaan

The Indian economic growth engine is running at top gear. Today the trend is no more unidirectional towards the west. The world is positively looking towards economies like ours. India gets mention nowadays in global media on a daily basis, and most of the times the references are positive, lauding its role in the global economy.

This might be a success story to some extent for urban India but rural India paints a dismal picture. Obscene levels of inequality stare this society in the face. A number of projects and schemes are offered by the Union Government and the State Governments but a lack of awareness and poor disbursement have not let the situation to improve. People are still in the wanting of essential needs to live a civilized life. Rural India finds itself isolated on account of various factors like economic struggle and lack of opportunity or resources.

Therefore on one side is a buoyant Indian economy which today is indicated by interest of foreign investors and spiraling growth of industry. But on the other side the Indian mosaic is still marred by stark realities of economical and digital divide, social ills, depleting natural resources, rural-urban disparity, environmental problems and lack of education.

In this mixed happy-grim situation, it is the need of the hour for some organisations or individuals to rise to the cause themselves and at the same time to invoke the consciences of others to take positive steps towards nation building.

As its contribution to welfare, development and awareness, amidst the current reality, Yuvak Biradari (Bharat) hereby presents Nirman Abhiyaan for the coming two years. This project is woven around the following three themes.

[I] Jaagruti
Ignorance, lack of information, lack of social consciousness or bad attitude are the causes for a number of people falling victims to a life of scarcity and misery. Different kinds of disasters cause great physical and emotional damage. In order to raise the level of awareness and enlighten (jaagrut) the common man, this Abhiyaan proposes to generate awareness in respect of:

  • Right of information

  • Disaster Preparedness

  • Social Security

  • Shelter &

  • Health

[II] Aachaar aur Sanskaar (Aachaar Sanhita)
There is an urgent need to address a number of social and behavioral concerns acting detrimental to the development of the rural society. The Abhiyaan will take up projects to garner people’s commitment and action towards:

  • Water & Environment Conservation

  • Health & Hygiene

  • Eradication of vices, social ills

The above-mentioned measures are in conjunction with Yuvak Biradari’s seven-point programme:
(1) Save Water (2) Protect the Environment (3) Make clean, green and beautiful towns
(4) Control the Population (5) Empower women (6) Protect the family system
(7) Strengthen Insaani Biradari (Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam)

[III] Udaan
One looks up with hope to the youth, who are a powerful force having immense potential to eliminate inadequacies and make substantial contribution to society. Initiatives under Udaan would be directed towards primary education and the youth, so that they can channelize their energies towards concrete and constructive activities. Value adding inputs, support, guidance and a direction would be provided for rozi-roti (self-employment and entrepreneurship), primary education and related schemes like the Mid-day Meal.


Yuvak Biradari came into being on 9th August, 1974. 9th August is significant in India’s history as the launch of the Bharat Chhodo movement. While we raised the credo of Bharat Jodo to link the disintegrating culture of our country, today we believe is a need to build a stronger, prosperous nation (Bharat Nirman) by addressing the issues of rural India which pose as weak links in our country and integrate them into the mainstream by leading them on the road to development. This initiative was launched in August 2006 and we plan to bring a number of other NGOs into the fray to spread this movement far and wide. This project is focused on rural development through Nirman doot (ambassadors) who work at the grass root level.

Currently Nirman Abhiyaan is being executed in select villages of Nandurbar and Wardha districts in the state of Maharashtra.
