Rural Development and Health

• Holistic and integrated approach to the concept of Development. Unit of development is a river valley and not isolated villages/locality.
• Sustainable development focusing on strengthening and building capacities in local groups to initiate development through their efforts along with creation of physical assets.
• Development activities initiated by villagers and facilitated by outside interventions to include women and socially and economically backward sections as beneficiaries.
• A medical center which can demonstrate a new model of relationship between doctors and patients.
• A center of excellence operating with state-of-the art medical technology but simultaneously catering to the health requirements of common citizens in rural areas.
