Over 2 decades, UPCTwork has been largely recognized for creating alternate new currencies for development i.e. material and community voluntary labor for development. Using urban surplus materials as a powerful resource for large scale development works across the country; ranging from education, sanitation, agriculture, water, livelihood, menstrual hygiene, and sustainability to environment. Spread across different geographies, UPCT’s work puts empathy and dignity first and foremost. Our holistic view of rural development is rooted in not only fulfilling their basic needs but empowering them to be the decision makers. Annually engaging in 4000+ development works pan-india (from road repairs, water channels revival to bridges, re-making schools etc.) involves a huge logistical cost of processing, rentals and transportation to operate on such scales. For CSR funding opportunities and other activities, please write to info@udbhavindia.org.
During disasters especially, many organizations and their employees have surprised us by contributing a certain a sum from their salaries.. Our growing work itself speaks about the immense scale and efforts involved in its back-end which ensures that material reaches last mile in the Indian villages with dignity and care.
