Overview

The Unnat Bharat Abhiyan, a program aimed at improving rural development, was inspired by a group of faculty members at IIT Delhi who had been working on rural development and technology. This idea was developed through discussions with various stakeholders, including technical institutions, rural technology groups, voluntary organizations, and government agencies. The program was officially launched in 2014 with support from the Ministry of Rural Development and the Ministry of Education.

Vision

  • Unnat Bharat Abhiyan is inspired by the vision of transformational change in rural development processes by leveraging knowledge institutions to help build the architecture of an Inclusive India and to have a paradigm shift in academic and research programs of the country.

Mission

  • Develop the necessary mechanism and proper coordination among educational institutions, implementation agencies (District administration / Panchayati Raj Institutions) and the grassroots level stakeholders to enable effective intervention at the field level.
  • Select suitable rural clusters and effectively participate in the holistic development of these clusters using eco-friendly sustainable technologies and local resources creating sufficient employment opportunities in the process, harnessing multifarious government schemes, customised use of existing technologies and use of knowledge as per the local needs.
  • Reorienting the academic curricula and research programs in higher educational institutions to make them more responsive to the needs of the time and to bring in holistic development and enrich knowledge of students about issues of villages/society.
