India lives in its villages — a truth spoken by Mahatma Gandhi and carried forward through the vision of Surya Foundation, which believes that true national development begins from the grassroots.
Through its Village Development Program, Surya Foundation is transforming rural communities by focusing on self-reliance, value-based living, education, health, and sustainable livelihoods.
???? Vision Behind the Village Development Initiative
Surya Foundation’s approach is based on a powerful principle:
"Every village can become an Ideal Village — Aatmanirbhar (self-reliant), Saanskritik (value-driven), and Samarth (capable)"
The goal is not just development, but holistic transformation, where villages become capable of generating their own resources, retaining youth talent, and nurturing social harmony.
