Village Development Program

To ensure the holistic development of rural communities within our operational areas, Utkarsh Welfare Foundation has implemented the Village Development Program (VDP). This comprehensive initiative focuses on addressing key issues such as education, healthcare, sanitation, and socio-economic gaps in the identified villages.


Through our sector-specific approach, we carefully select and identify villages in need of intervention. Currently, we are working intensively in the identified villages of Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand, aiming to transform them into Model Villages. Our initiatives in the thematic areas of Financial Awareness & Education, Health Initiatives and Skill, Vocational & Entrepreneurship Development Programs are implemented in these VDP villages with a concentrated and focused approach.

Under the Village Development Program, we have set up Smart Classes in the schools of these villages. These Smart Classes utilize audio-visual tools and other engaging techniques of digital learning to provide a more innovative and effective learning environment for rural children. By leveraging technology, we aim to enhance the educational experience and equip children with the skills and knowledge needed for their future success.

In addition to education, we also provide agricultural support to farmers in the VDP villages. Through regular capacity building programs, we empower farmers with knowledge of modern farming techniques. We emphasize the use of high-quality seeds and provide necessary agricultural inputs to enhance productivity. Moreover, we encourage farmers to minimize the use of chemical-based pesticides and promote the adoption of natural alternatives. Our goal is to provide technical assistance and support for modern farming practices, ultimately improving the efficiency and sustainability of agricultural activities in these villages.

Within the Village Development Program (VDP) initiative, we place greater emphasis on Skill, Vocational & Entrepreneurship Development of women in the village. We recognize the importance of empowering women and enabling them to become self-reliant through the acquisition of new skills and entrepreneurial opportunities.

As part of this initiative, we identify women who possess the potential and desire to develop their own enterprises. Through targeted training programs, we provide them with the necessary knowledge and expertise in various trades such as Mushroom Cultivation Backyard Poultry, etc. These skills not only equip them to start their own businesses but also offer a pathway towards economic independence and the ability to contribute to their household income.

During the training programs, women are provided with comprehensive guidance, including practical training, theoretical knowledge, and access to resources and tools required to establish and operate their enterprises. Our aim is not only to impart skills but also to foster an entrepreneurial mindset, encouraging women to think creative and explore business opportunities within their communities.

Through our Village Development Program, which encompasses to various facets such as education, healthcare, agriculture, skill and entrepreneurship development, we strive to create a comprehensive framework for holistic village transformation. By empowering women through skill training and entrepreneurship development, we contribute to the building of self-sustaining communities where individuals, families, and the entire village can thrive.
