Note From President Shernaz Vakil
CHANGE: POWERED BY RCB
Last Friday, I wrote to each of you regarding the unique village project we were working on just three hours out of Mumbai.
We have conceived an Integrated Rural Development at Savroli village, in the Vikramgad block of Palghar.
This project is unique to the others completed by RCB until now as not only does it provide sustainable livelihoods, and 360-degree development but also takes rural education to the next level.
The impact that will be created from this project for the children of the region will show for decades to come, generating new hope for the future of our rural youth.
We hope to be able to work with you towards transforming Savroli into the modern model village. Solar-powered lift irrigation will allow for multicropping, giving opportunity for a sustainable income and this, in turn, will mitigate migration.
This project will provide employment and livelihood to 40 farmers which number will grow organically within the first four cropping cycles.
The farmers will engage in floriculture and vegetable farming with a potential to bring over 60 acres into cultivation.
Malnutrition is one of the greatest problems faced in the villages. Each farmer will develop a part of their field for captive consumption, allowing them to grow enough produce for their own use, adding valuable nutrition to their diet.
Please attend the meeting today to understand how each one of us would be responsible for enabling this transformation.
— President Shernaz Vakil
