What Factors Need To Be Considered For Development?

• Roads provide mobility and connectivity and also give a much-needed boost to agricultural activities by making water available easily through improved irrigation facilities. 
• Electrification is another important factor that needs attention in the villages. With the power of electricity, the quality of life can be enhanced to a greater extent. In homes, streets, schools almost everywhere electrification at an affordable cost is essential for a smooth life transition. The Surya Roshni initiative harnesses solar energy to mitigate the demand for electricity in rural areas. Since it is an eco-friendly and cost-effective solution it will work for everyone’s benefit. 
• Water Conservation and usage: Officials and local authorities should work in unison to better the accessibility of water to every house and also, agricultural farm. But before that, there should be a tab on the quality of water, how safe and pure it is for consumption and domestic as well as agricultural usage. 
• NGOs can create opportunities for women that will help them in earning on their own. We all know that crafts thrive in the nooks and corners of each village.  So, taking the responsibility of letting women indulge in making pottery, jewelry, paper, and glass craft will be a great initiative. There is an immense potential for exporting these artifacts. 

What Are The Salient Features Of A Smart Village?

There are certain sections of society that demand undivided attention. We are talking about the weaker and underprivileged. India accounts for 17.7% of the total world population. In this highly populated country, there are still many villages that are unheard of or unreachable. They do not have access to electricity, safe drinking water, and other amenities like properly constructed roads, healthcare systems, education, etc. For sustainable growth and development, it is important that governing authorities take necessary actions to mitigate the rising problems. In lieu of this,  integrated village development projects came into being. These projects are skillful initiatives that focus on bringing the right balance to the ecosystem. 

Steps To Be Undertaken:

• Making the farmers know the latest tools and techniques for better agricultural processes, also forms an important factor.  For example, the drip irrigation system has been a huge benefit for farmers. 
• Electricity is one of the basic needs without which it is impossible to administer everyday life. Thus, in a bid to make electricity reach every house in the village, the enthusiasts from the foundation are striving to provide eco-friendly and budget-friendly power that everyone can afford. Solar energy is the key source. It is emission-free, safe, renewable, affordable, and the cleanest option. With the implementation of solar energy, there will be no addition to global warming. The use of photovoltaic cells to convert solar energy to electrical energy is quite an effective approach. 

Voluntary organizations, like Victas Foundation, are taking an active interest in making the integrated village development project a reality. The objective of this project is to focus on electrifying villages through a cost-effective and eco-friendly approach.

We, at the organization, are working for the underprivileged to help them get all the basic amenities of life for uplifting their living standard.  Join our stride to contribute to a humanitarian cause.

The scope of basic amenities includes safe drinking water, sanitation, housing, proper roads electrification, fuel, connectivity, healthcare center, and schools. These are non-negotiable conditions for living a bare minimum life. Apart from this, agriculture has always been a major contributor to India’s GDP. The constant decrease in its rate is becoming a rising concern. The main reason for the lack of proper growth is inefficient policies, improper implementation, and execution at the grass-root level.

• Women Empowerment: Encouraging women to learn crafts for becoming self-independent will open new opportunities for the rural people. They can learn different crafts like pottery-making, weaving, handicrafts, etc. The local NGOs can step forward to export these artifacts to different states in exchange for a good remuneration. 
• Increasing Accessibility: Roads provide mobility, connectivity and also give a much-needed boost to agricultural activities. Apart from acting as a connecting link, properly built roads help make water available easily through improved irrigation facilities. The integrated village development project is thus about the process of improving the quality of life of people living in the villages.
• Skill-training And Education: It is imperative that the local authorities along with government aid,  plan on effective strategies to educate the children and youth. Primary, secondary schools along with skill training institutes and development centers should be set up. Also facilitating loans to farmers will be a great boon to most citizens. Increasing the literacy rate is the prerequisite for developing and preserving society. Access to education will not only help fence economic barriers but will also positively impact social well-being in a community.

Some famous non-governmental organizations are taking part actively in the integrated village development project to uplift the underprivileged sections of the rural areas and trying to fulfill their fundamental rights.

Examples on which the NGOs are working to develop the rural areas: 

• Electricity- The requirement for electricity is increasing with the emergence of Industry, urban societies, and population. But unfortunately, most of the rural areas are deprived of getting electricity. So the government tries to supply electricity from solar energy. Solar energy generates emission-free electricity and many reliable non-government organizations cooperate with the government to remove the economic and technical obstacles to supply the electricity in rural areas. Solar energy is free energy and it has unlimited sources. Moreover, solar energy causes no pollution. 
• Protection of Environment- It is important to protect the nature of rural areas. So the NGOs are taking initiatives to save and protect the natural water resources. On the other hand, they emphasize solar energy for supplying electricity in the rural areas so that the rural environment can not be hampered. To restore the water sources, the fishermen can get sufficient water to cultivate fishes.
• Food Security- Unfortunately, the villagers provide our foods all over the country, but they are deprived of getting a balanced diet. So the NGOs help the farmers with sustainable agricultural equipment and pesticides and ensure their food security. They help to restore the water sources so that natural calamities such as short rainfall can not affect agriculture and the rural population. 
• Concentrating On Natural Farming:  The NGOs are concentrating on natural farming and preventing the chance of soil pollution. The usage of pesticides and chemical fertilizers put extra pressure financially on farmers. The NGOs experiment on the varieties of the hybrid crops and by using organic farming methods. Besides, they emphasize preparing organic fertilizers from animals and plants and put them in their demo farm.

‘Victas Foundation’ is a professional non-governmental organization that follows national development policies and guidelines. They provide community development short courses to increase communication, negotiation, learning skills, etc.
