Amarpurkashi is a small village in the block of Baniakhera, District Moradabad, U.P., India. It is the birthplace of the founder of the project, Mukat Singh, who, in July 1970, established a development project under the auspices of the Society for Agro-Industrial Education in India.
Mukat Singh returned to his native village determined to do something to help his fellow villagers. He focused on all-round, integrated rural development and slowly but steadily introduced a wide range of initiatives that over the years have transformed the village of Amarpurkashi and many other villages in the area. Now he is turning his attention to the issue of rural sustainability through this new project. |
