About Unnat Bharat Abhiyan

Unnat Bharat Abhiyan is a flagship program of MHRD, Govt. of India to uplift the citizen in our villages and in rural India. Presently, 70% of the population in India lives in rural areas engaged in an agrarian economy with agriculture and allied sector employing 51% of the total work-force but accounting for only 17% of the country’s GDP. There are huge developmental disconnects between the rural and urban sectors such as inequity in health, education, incomes, and basic amenities as well as employment opportunities – all causing great discontent and large-scale migration to urban areas. To bridge the gap of urban and rural developmental differences and to uplift current rural India the Unnat Bharat Abhiyan of MHRD has collaborated with higher educational institutions of India such as Gurukula Kangri (Deemed to be University), Haridwar for bringing the mainstream industrial knowledge among the common people of rural India. Unnat Bhārat Abhiyān (UBA) is a much needed and highly challenging initiative in this direction.

Vision and Mission

Unnat Bharat Abhiyan is inspired by the vision of transformational change in rural development processes by leveraging knowledge institutions to help build the architecture of an Inclusive India.

The Mission of Unnat Bharat Abhiyan is to enable higher educational institutions to work with the people of rural India in identifying development challenges and evolving appropriate solutions for accelerating sustainable growth. It also aims to create a virtuous cycle between society and an inclusive academic system by providing knowledge and practices for emerging professions and to upgrade the capabilities of both the public and the private sectors in responding to the development needs of rural India.

Goals of Unnat Bharat Abhiyan
