This document outlines a comprehensive strategy aimed at increasing the Standard of Living (SOL) on a sustainable basis through the involvement of Bharat Nirman Volunteers. It highlights the challenges stemming from over-dependence on agriculture, weak institutions, and low human capital while tracing historical development phases from crisis intervention to poverty alleviation. Key strategies include promoting grassroots participation in governance, enhancing leadership in rural communities, and restructuring development programs for better accountability and responsiveness. The goal is to foster a participatory culture that empowers local populations and strengthens economic growth sustainably.
