JAIN COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY, HUBBALLI

UNNAT BHARAT ABHIYAN

The conceptualization of Unnat Bharat Abhiyan originated from the endeavours of a dedicated group of faculty members at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi, possessing expertise in rural development and appropriate technology. The concept evolved through extensive consultations with representatives from various technical institutions, Rural Technology Action Group (RuTAG) coordinators, voluntary organizations, and government agencies actively engaged in rural development. These deliberations took place during a national workshop hosted at IIT Delhi in September 2014, sponsored by the Council for Advancement of People’s Action and Rural Technology (CAPART), Ministry of Rural Development, Government of India. The program received formal inauguration by the Ministry of Education (MoE) (formerly Ministry of Human Resource Development (MHRD)), with the President of India presiding, on November 11, 2014.
