💨 Abstract

The Uttar Pradesh government's 'Model Gaon' project aims to develop villages and empower women, focusing on defining development through a 'village manifesto', identifying local change-makers, and transforming agriculture into a profitable business. The project was inspired by successful experiments in Banda district and seeks to address climate change through a three-pronged approach: plastic-free living, water conservation, and tree plantation.
