Rajya Sabha MP Dr Subhash Chandra adopts Kishangarh in Haryana, starts new projects
Delhi | Gram Swaraj is not just a word but encompasses the full sense of freedom where a marginal family can live with dignity. However there are many challenges that create obstacles. For example, there is no access to basic services such as safe drinking water, electricity, roads, education and health care services. On top of that is the loss-making agricultural cycle. Rajya Sabha MP Dr Subhash Chandra believes in unleashing the potential of the community and empowering them to write their own destiny. Kishangarh is a village in the Hisar district of Haryana. Dr. Subhash Chandra has adopted this village under the Sansad Adarsh Gram Yojana. They have adopted this village as a cluster of five villages- Sabka (Sadalpur, Adampur, Berarwala Khara, Kishangarh and Adampur Mandi). ( Dr. Chandra adopted Kishangarh_

Every change begins with a small but strong step. It started with institution building through community engagement for a village development plan. The local community prepares a village development plan and then begins the task of identifying and resolving the problems. Representatives of different classes, castes, genders and classes came forward with their opinions and they all got integrated in a single process.
