Unnat Bharat Abhiyan Completes 11 Successful Years of Transforming Rural India Through Higher Education Institutions

Unnat Bharat Abhiyan (UBA), a flagship national initiative of the Ministry of Education, Government of India, celebrated its Foundation Day on November 11, 2025, marking eleven years of the program’s dedication to transforming rural India through the active participation of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs).

On November 11, 2014, the Ministry of Education formally inaugurated the UBA program, with the then President of India presiding. IIT Delhi has been UBA’s National Coordinating Institute since its launch.

At the Foundation Day celebrations organised at IIT Delhi, Prof. Virendra Kumar Vijay, UBA National Coordinator; Prof. Pooja Ghosh, RCI (Regional Coordinating Institution) UBA Coordinator of NCR; Prof. Sangeeta Kohli, UBA PI Coordinator of Khurampur village; and Prof. Ankesh Jain, NSS In-charge, addressed the audience and discussed with the students various activities planned in UBA village clusters of IIT Delhi.

Prof. Virendra Kumar Vijay, National Coordinator, UBA, expressed gratitude to the Education Ministry and partner institutions, noting that “the success of UBA lies in connecting hearts before connecting technology—ensuring that India’s youth view villages not as backward spaces, but as living laboratories of innovation, culture, and resilience.”

Under the continued guidance of the Ministry of Education, UBA acts as a bridge between academia and the grassroots, promoting technology transfer, rural entrepreneurship, and policy-linked research. The initiative has catalyzed numerous success stories—from solar microgrids and biogas units to millet-based enterprises and skill training centers—demonstrating the potential of HEIs as engines of inclusive growth.
