unnat bharat abhiyan: nurturing rural development, embracing gandhian vision

It recognizes that modern developmental models have brought about challenges like inequality, crime, climate change, and ecological degradation.

This involves harnessing local resources and decentralized, eco-friendly technologies to meet essential needs while nurturing the rural fabric.
