India envisions becoming the world’s 3rd largest economy by 2030 and achieving developed nation status by 2047. However, World Bank data underscores the reality that over 66.46% of the population resides in villages, projected to remain above 50%. Despite the urban development focus, the essence of Gandhiji’s words prevails: “India lives in her seven hundred thousand villages.” Established in 1982 under the Societies Registration Act of 1860, PRIDE India, supported by Mahanagar Gas Limited, is committed to developing sustainable infrastructure and creating ideal villages. Operating in Maharashtra’s Raigad district, an impact assessment study by Renovate India, with 120 respondents through simple random sampling, yielded results at a 95% confidence level and 5% margin of error. Assessment categories included education, health, sanitation, economic status, and community empowerment, revealing heightened education quality, improved health conditions, and a substantial household income increase following interventions. PRIDE India’s efforts exemplify a dedicated pursuit of sustainable development and the transformation of rural landscapes in alignment with India’s ambitious economic goals. Key findings underscore significant positive changes in all six villages, including encouraging signs of community development, a notable surge in school attendance from 60.6% to 94.4%, and a transition to open defecation-free villages and improved hygiene practices. The noteworthy enhancement in household income is attributed to the financial support and entrepreneurial training provided by Pride India. The study gives satisfactory results of the Integrated Rural Development Project by Pride India, through the model village project, the villages are now on a progressive path aligned with the Millennium Development goals of the United Nations.
