When communities lead, they transform their own future. In this edition of Changemakers Season 5 on NDTV, watch how community-led development by UWBe X Alstom is strengthening 'Rural Rising', a flagship campaign of UWBe in creating a transformative change in rural India.

[NDTV @ndtv]

When communities lead, they transform their own future. From strengthening Anganwadis and schools to rejuvenating lakes and empowering persons with disabilities, every initiative is built on one powerful belief - when people learn, earn, and grow, communities rise together.

For 17 years across 17 states, United Way Bengaluru (UWBe) has been enabling this very shift - bringing people, partners, and the local ecosystem together to create change that lasts. Our long-standing CSR partnership with Alstom has further strengthened this mission, helping drive impactful work in education, livelihoods, and climate action.

In this edition of Changemakers Season 5 on NDTV, watch how community-led development is helping children learn better, women gain skills and income, and families build stronger, more resilient futures"
