The Approach Needed

• Plan for development of towns and villages, big and small, where as many as 85-90% of people live.
• Don’t neglect but revive natural resources that already exist in towns and villages, and more than anything else, their human resources.
• Solarize everything, homes to industry, industrialize on an environmentally appropriate scale and technology, re-imagine water sourcing and utilization, and humanize living conditions.
• Bring higher professional, technical and vocational education and employment to rural areas and smaller towns. Stop measuring progress by GDP numbers, and the number of millionaires and billionaires a country has. Make human development index the central metric.
• Minimize the need for people to move, and maximize conditions to move things.
• Harness modern technology and communications to move production to smaller towns and villages. Let those villages that cannot support adequate and appropriate industrialization become bed-room communities to nearby towns.
• For starters, move planning to the microlevel.
• Set up and promote Spoken English Programs.

Sacred Trust

As a sacred trust, to say the least, a word about how we treat our donations! Historically as much as 96%-98% received by us have gone to the intended beneficiaries. And that is a record many can’t beat or equal. We give all of our assistance to rural government schools. Not to those run by private managements for profit!

In 2020 Murali Chanduri handed leadership to Mallik Kesavaraju, and the Executive Committee has continued to advance this philosophy.
