The 10 step process of Smart Village is:
- When a village gets adopted either by someone within or outside country, we prepare a secondary research report on the village on 70 parameters of village life which becomes the "AS IS" status of village.
- Next step is to interview all the households in the village, with a ready questionnaire in local language, to identify their pain points. At this time the adopter of village has to visit the village with our team for 2-3 days.
- Based on the questionnaire inputs, we prepare pain point solutions document and split it into short ( 3 months ), medium ( 18 months ) and long term ( 33 months ) achievable solutions.
- At this stage we interact with villagers to validate the pain points & solutions.
- We appoint a manager in the village, who is from the village, called Smart village manager on a salary. He/She becomes our execution arm.
- Then one by one we execute the solutions.
- Funding comes from the person who has adopted ( 10% ) and balance from corporate CSR in the country or abroad, State & central government schemes, village fund raising etc.
- Many innovative, self employment generating and first time activities are implemented in the village which generates interest in the youth to stay back in village.
- It takes 1000 days to convert the village into a smart village.
- Every three months, a review report is sent to the adopter on progress.
