Gandhi's Concept of Ideal Village
India does not need to be industrialized in the modern sense of the term. It has 7,50,000 villages scattered over the vast area 1900 miles long 1500 broad. The people are rooted to the soil and the vast majority is living a hand to mouth life.
Reference: Gandhiji wrote to Sir Danial Hamilton in a letter on 15-2-1922 from Bardoli
Sevas community/members firmly believe that "India does not need to be industrialized in the modern sense of the term".
The employment generated by corporate industries is always less when compared with small scale or cottage industries.
Sevas encourages advanced technologies but mainly concentrates on employment generations. Gandhi's concept of Ideal village or Gram Swaraj can be achieved by establishing more small scale industries/services.
We have to work towards the application of advanced technologies (like biotechnology, bioinformatics or nanotechnology) in establishing small scale industries/services. Sevas aims to create an interactive atmosphere among researchers, scientists, faculties, students and farmers to develop villages. Join Sevas community and start helping villages.
