Success story of a small Indian village

April 21, 2008

Fatehgram, a small village near Dehra Dun, has achieved self-sufficiency, thanks to a unique model.

Two years ago, a premier school and an NGO in Dehra Dun got together to adopt Fatehgram, a sleepy, non-descript village on the outskirts of Doon valley. Their efforts are paying off. Literally.

Situated amidst sylvan surroundings, Fatehgram is all set to attain economic independence thanks to an innovative initiative by The Doon School and Himalayan Environmental Studies and Conservation Organisation (HESCO).
