This group would look into villages and slums that can be adopted to nurture and improve their quality of life. This is also part of the initiative to lift them out of poverty through self sustaining and honorable way of life.

 Background

* Scattered throughout India are approximately 500,000 villages. The Census of India regards most   settlements of fewer than 5,000 as a village. These settlements range from tiny hamlets of   thatched huts to larger settlements of tile-roofed stone and brick houses. Most Indian villages are   small; nearly 80 percent have fewer than 1,000 inhabitants, according to the 1991 census.
