𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗩𝗦𝗧𝗙 The Government of Maharashtra, with the support of various philanthropists and NGOs, has undertaken activities on a war footing to address the drought that has adversely impacted thousands of villages and millions of people in Maharashtra. Jal Yukt Shivar, a campaign to make the state drought free, has established significant social capital and infrastructure over the past couple of years with strong results. Nevertheless, several challenges remain to be addressed.The Village Social Transformation Mission is a unique mechanism with the potential to transform rural Maharashtra. It aims to provide hard & soft infrastructure and quality last mile service delivery, empowering villages to practice self-sustainable development.The Mission will converge government efforts with activities undertaken by corporates under the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Act. Existing corporate activities will be supported by existing government schemes and administrative machinery. Meanwhile, the government will incorporate corporate best practices, technical expertise, and insights.The Mission will reform the 1000 worst affected villages (by drought or other social challenges) in Maharashtra into Model Villages by 2018, creating a model for replication in the process. This model will then be replicated across the state.𝗠𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁 𝘂𝘀 :https://www.mvstf.org/en https://www.facebook.com/MVSTForg/https://twitter.com/MVSTForgInsta - @mvstforg
