All across Indian states, and more specifically in the Vidharba region of Maharashtra, the farmer suicide crisis has reached a critical emergency level. UVS has adopted a curative and preventive strategy to address this challenge. Our ecovillage project is serving as a preventive measure and our mental health program as a curative measure.
-Background
Vidarbha region in the State of Maharashtra is an agriculture-intensive region, which has witnessed high farmer suicide rates in the recent past. Unfortunately, poverty, insufficient state aid and climatic conditions have led to an increase in farmers' suicides. We suspect that between 2016 and 2019 almost 8500 farmers have died by suicide, but no organization has reported real data, which leads us to a hypothesis that the figures are higher and that the factors risk are increasingly. The environmental and cultural crisis increase without prevention programs against depression and suicide.
-Program Goals and Objectives
The Mental Health Program aims to improve mental health conditions by providing care and rehabilitation services to the farmers. The Program has been designed to spread awareness, make assessments, and to enable the adoption of interventions to promote mental health; and especially prevent suicidal tendencies among the farmers and induce resilience to economic, social, and cultural problems.

In view of the problems of conventional farming such as water scarcity, soil depletion and biodiversity loss, UVS wants to facilitate the transition to regenerative agriculture in local communities. The Regenerative agriculture project aims at raising awareness for regenerative agriculture among local farmers in the village of Nagatha. UVS has elaborated a 6-phase plan including orientation workshops on regenerative agriculture, self-help groups for farmers, support staff for farmers and information campaigns on government schemes. 100 farmers are planned to be engaged in the pilot project in Nagatha. Upon successful completion, the project may be expanded to nearby 128 villages of the same or larger size.

India is a youth led country, with 70% of people under the age of 40. 34% of India's gross national income comes from young people, but this percentage needs to be increased urgently. Indeed, today's youth are an important resource not only for the development of economic prosperity, but also for social change. Despite this importance, millennials often face hurdles every day because their energy is not yet directed in the right direction.Youth empowerment in all developments is essential not only for national development throughout the country, but also for individual personal development. With this in mind UVS established a computer and information science institute called ‘Vidarbha Infotech’ in 2010.
Youth empowerment is pursued through the promotion of youth rights, youth activities and community decision-making. Empowerment is the process of inevitably empowering learners to live a satisfying life for individuals and at the same time to adhere to important values and social ideals. With the rising need for technological literacy UVS is helping India and its youth reach there.
Starting from 2011, as the project grew, UVS also saw a need to develop the technical literacy of socioeconomically disadvantaged students. Through the Vidharba Infotech institute and its projects, we were able to provide free computer training and free courses granting a Maharashtra State Certificate in Information Technology (MS-CIT) to students below the poverty line.
Vidarbha Infotech supports self-education and financial independence by providing computer education, vocational training and qualification programs to young students living in rural areas. As part of its entrepreneurial development efforts, UVS has partnered with government officials to introduce various government startup programs to students in need. In addition, through youth empowerment activities, you can conduct certification courses, provide guidance on competitive exams, and host entrepreneurship development sessions.
There are several reasons to help youth empowerment reach heights in this country. Empowered helps young people understand the importance of education and empower sectors essential to developing countries such as India. Such skilled young people can donate educational institutions to primary, secondary and even tertiary institutions. Today, India does not have the right infrastructure for education. This can only be easily achieved by empowerment.
Each year, more than 400 students take advantage of computer education, including MSCIT / DTP operator certification and a variety of other specialized courses. 4,444 students with financial problems were provided with free guidance on how to prepare for competitive exams, and local students were offered free skill development courses. Thousands of students are our beneficiaries and benefit from this advantage.
