This was the space, where I felt the
need of establishing an organiza-
tion that can work on 5 principles –
Unbiasedness, Technical Expertness,
Awareness, Community Involvement
and Vigilance. And that is when,
AKSHVI AWARE PVT. LTD. came into
the picture in April 2019 with guid-
ance from Science & Technology
Entrepreneurship Park (STEP), IIT
Kharagpur in my 4th Year.
BRIEF US ABOUT THE CURRENT
PROJECTS AKSHVI IS RUNNING
IN INDIA?
Currently, AKSHVI is working in the
Rajasthan state. After building and
training teams in the 56 Panchayat
Samitis of 8 districts, AKSHVI finally
made a model of its GPDP strategy
in Chareda Gram Panchayat of
Dausa district in Rajasthan. Now
the implementation of the GPDP
has started in this Gram Panchayat
and one state-level Administrative
Committee has also been formed
to decide to work similarly on all
the other 11,140 Gram Panchayats of
Rajasthan with AKSHVI.
