NDTV in collaboration with Swades India, a non-profit organisation has initiated a drive #SwadesBuildingLivelihoods to raise funds to build livelihoods of more than 15,000 needy households in rural Raigad and Nashik districts of Maharashtra. The aim of the initiative is to create self-sustaining communities as their capacities are built, inputs and market linkages strengthened to ensure that every household earns at least Rs. 2,00,000 per annum.
