Action Village India has long-term relationships with six Gandhian organisations all working for non-violent change in rural India. For almost 20 years, it has supported programmes which enable disadvantaged communities to help themselves.

Current programmes include: girls’ education (Jharkhand), women’s employment (Tamil Nadu), organic farming (Kerala) and land rights (Orissa).

“I would say that if the village perishes India will perish too. India will be no more India. Her own mission in the world will get lost. The revival of the village is possible only when it is no more exploited. Industrialisation on a mass scale will necessarily lead to passive or active exploitation of the villagers as the problems of competition and marketing come in. Therefore we have to concentrate on the village being self-contained, manufacturing mainly for use. Provided this character of the village industry is maintained, there would be no objection to villagers using even the modern machines and tools that they can make and can afford to use. Only they should not be used as a means of exploitation of others”.

M.K.Gandhi -1936

Action Village India is a UK based charity which raises money to support six partner organisations in India.

All of our partners work within the Gandhian tradition with marginalised people in rural areas.
