Atmanirbhar Bharat is the PM’s vision of making India a self-reliant nation. This mission is not restricted to the 5 key pillars Economy, Infrastructure, Technology-driven system, Vibrant demography and Demand. What also plays a major role here is the growth of an individual. The progress of the youth especially those who are underserved but nevertheless aspire to achieve their dreams is what will drive India to its true potential.
Today, NGOs are not just limited to environmental, social, advocacy and human rights advocacy. They also work to promote social change on a broad scale. They play a critical part in developing society, improving communities, and promoting citizen participation. When it comes to making India Atmanirbhar, various NGOs are providing helping hands to the self-reliance mission as they empower underprivileged sections of society, provide free education to children, support government schools enabling students to acquire leadership, communication, collaboration, and other vital life skills, create opportunities that enable their holistic development.
