Project Sangaath: With Deepak Foundation

Abstract

This report presents an in-depth account of the Rural Immersion Project undertaken in collaboration with Deepak Foundation across several villages in Tilakwada, a rural region in Narmada District, Gujarat. The project, titled Sangaath, was developed as part of a larger initiative to bridge gaps in government schemes, social welfare programs, and community-driven projects to improve rural livelihoods. The report details a comprehensive analysis of the impact, challenges, and benefits brought about by Deepak Foundation's activities, specifically in areas of healthcare, sustainable agriculture, women’s empowerment, education, and essential rural infrastructure. Through direct observation and interaction with the communities, we sought to assess the effectiveness of various programs, document success stories, and gather local perspectives on their social and economic needs. With qualitative insights gathered from ten villages, this report also identifies areas where Deepak Foundation’s interventions could expand to create deeper, more sustainable impacts on the lives of rural residents. By focusing on stories from individuals who directly benefit from these programs, the report aims to convey not only the statistics but also the human impact behind each initiative.
