#NextBharatkiKahaniya Meet Vikas, a rice farmer from the Sahyadri Mountains in Maharashtra. Like many farmers in the Sahyadri region, Vikas grows just one crop throughout the year due to the challenging climate conditions. With no other sources of income, these farmers often have to migrate for the rest of the year to another region for finding work opportunities and for sustaining their families. Pragati, who also belongs to the same area, understands this struggle firsthand. She was determined to make a change. Driven by a passion for economically empowering her community, Pragati started a social impact enterprise that connects a segment of urban travellers, who are seeking authentic immersive experiences, with the farmers of this region. This noble initiative provides farmers with a additional sustainable source of income opportunity, and allowing them to stay-back at home all-year-round and better supporting their families while staying with them. There are many such passionate individuals who are driven by noble causes, contribution, and sense of community. They want to turn social problems into hope—hope for the next Bharat, and hope for a better tomorrow. These people aim to be catalysts for a positive change, with a deep understanding of the challenges their communities face. They are creating profitable businesses that also make a significant social impact. We call them Impact Entrepreneurs. If you are like Pragati, apply for the Next Bharat Residency Program here. https://lnkd.in/gbDnk-vh Think impact. Think Bharat.

Rural innovation in India is less prominent compared to urban innovation, but there are signs of growth and potential in recent years. Rural innovation can significantly contribute to a country's growth in several ways: - Economic Development: Rural innovation boosts local economies by creating jobs, promoting entrepreneurship, and increasing agricultural productivity. - Reduction of Urban Migration: It provides opportunities and improves the quality of life in rural areas, reducing the need for migration to urban centers and balancing regional development. - Sustainable Resource Management: Innovations often focus on sustainable practices, leading to better management of natural resources and environmental conservation. Suzuki's initiative, 'Next Bharat Venture,' in collaboration with T-Hub, aims to explore and support the vibrant landscape of rural innovation and entrepreneurship in India. This partnership is designed to nurture and accelerate the growth of innovative ideas emerging from rural areas.
