Model Village Trust (MVT) is a national-level NGO with a noble vision to bring about transformative change in the most marginalized and backward villages across the country. The core objective of the organization is to establish these villages as exemplary models of sustainable development, achieved through strategic, systematic, and participatory interventions. MVT collaborates with like-minded organizations and groups of individuals to ensure the success of its initiatives.

MVT strives to create a conceptual “model village,” where the villagers themselves play pivotal roles as decision-makers, partners, and beneficiaries. This approach empowers the community members and ensures that the development initiatives are tailored to their specific needs and aspirations. Through active participation and ownership, the villagers become instrumental in driving positive change and fostering a sustainable future for their village. The development projects undertaken in these model villages are multifaceted, incorporating various aspects such as infrastructure, education, healthcare, livelihoods, and environmental conservation.

Our Current Projects Address Ten of UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
