Our Border Villages- Bedrock of inclusive Development:
Border villages are India’s pride and the foundation of our national integrity, security and socio-cultural heritage. Creating an equitable and developed India necessitates the support of each corner of our nation, and the Vibrant Villages Program aims to develop all such identified strategic locations. The broader Vibrant Villages Program envisions improving the connectivity of villages located in proximity to the country’s international border. Initiatives involve building better access to better services in all aspects, such as adequate education and healthcare facilities, better economic opportunities, access to new-age technology, and improving tourism and connectivity at the grassroots level, transforming border villages into centers for growth.
Such an interface and a well-curated learning experience by this youth-led program help to sensitize these young changemakers and create more conscientious global Indians who are equipped with the right set of skills to address Grassroot Development and contribute to the nation at large in a holistic manner!
