Enabling rural economies to achieve their full potential
Around 68% of India’s population lives in rural areas. In order to enable rural economies achieve their full potential, a long term vision is required. Deshpande Foundation believes that holistic rural transformation requires coordinated interventions in six core areas: Agriculture, Education And Skilling, Livelihoods & Local Entrepreneurship, Self Governance, Health & Nutrition, Water & Sanitation. Also, Deshpande Foundation aims to transform 10,000 villages in two states of India by 2030. To achieve this aspiration, it has in place a defined approach and pathway to scale. The focus is on exploring inherent possibilities of growth and accelerating rural India’s transformational journey.
