Objective
To take up development activities in a village focused on addressing the eight MDGs, and primarily using technologies developed by ARTI, in a time bound manner. Establish linkages with other agencies to address the MDGs not directly addressed by ARTIs solutions. Ensuring sustainability of the development process, through active involvement of local people and government and non-government agencies. The model if successful, can be replicated elsewhere.
