Description:
"Target 3 Billion: Innovative Solutions Towards Sustainable Development" addresses the challenges faced by the 3 billion people living in villages around the world who often lack access to basic resources. The book explores how the current global development model has failed to eradicate poverty.
With a focus on India's rural population of 750 million, the book introduces the concept of "Urban Amenities in Rural Areas" (PURA), which is an environmentally friendly and sustainable approach to improving the lives of rural communities. Instead of relying solely on government subsidies, the authors, including Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, advocate for entrepreneurship and community participation as key drivers of rural empowerment.
The book provides numerous examples of how the PURA model can transform the lives of millions, with case studies such as the Seed Club at Chitrakoot Pura and the Warana Cooperative Sugar Factory. It also discusses how governments can implement this system for the benefit of rural populations.
"Target 3 Billion" encourages readers to consider their role in empowering the 3 billion people living in rural areas and offers insights from various perspectives, including citizens, students, and senior citizens. It is a comprehensive guide to addressing the challenges of sustainable development in rural communities.
