GV Decade V Strategic Approach
The ‘Decade V Document’ presents the strategic vision and program framework for the fifth decade of Gram Vikas’ operations. During this phase, our primary objective is to deepen our engagement with the communities we have previously collaborated with, while also expanding our reach to new communities within the specific geographical areas we have prioritized. To achieve this, our work will be structured around six programmatic pillars. These pillars will build upon and further enhance the outcomes already accomplished, introduce fresh interventions to address community needs, and address the interconnected nature of development challenges and their solutions.
