Rural Rejuvenation

Over the past few years, globalization and market liberalization have triggered significant economic development in India.

While certain segments of the society have benefited from increased purchasing power and living standards, vast numbers of India's 1.1 billion plus population are excluded.

Over 70% of Indians live in rural areas; the majority struggle to earn a living as small farmers, daily wagers, self-employment householders or landless laborers.

Their plight is extended by lack of basic infrastructure, health care, proper nutrition, adequate education and increasing environmental degradation.

Action for Rural Rejuvenation seeks to transform the lives of India's rural poor.  The complex, interconnected challenges humanity faces today require comprehensive approaches in a focused way.  With a comprehensive approach to health and livelihood programs, Rural Rejuvenation aspires to empower individuals and communities to break the cycle of poverty, disease and despair.
