OBJECTIVES OF THE TRUST:
Generation of Self-Employment in rural areas: Providing employment is not only the task of the Government, it is also a social obligation. Getting an employment is not easy. It is always good to be self-employed, thus NCT has adopted the motto “Development through Self-employment”.
Women Empowerment: The women mass of the rural population is a very weak section of the society. Their lack of education hinders their development. NCT believes that if these women become financially strong and independent, they can earn, support their family and live respectably. The only best means of earning a living is self-employment. Women empowerment also has its positive effects like child development, better education, higher infant mortality rate etc.
Tribal Development: Tribal community is the most deprived mass in our country mainly because they live in most inaccessible, hilly, forest areas. Due to this they lag behind in education, sources of income, shelter etc. NCT has started its social activity working for Tribals and would like work for them to provide sustainable development through participatory approach.
Natural Resource Management and environment: Today environment conservation and eco balance have become very serious issues. Widespread pollution, soil erosion, falling water levels, thinning flora and fauna etc. are issues to be addressed immediately and urgently. NCT aims at contributing towards betterment of environment through natural resource management. For this NCT believes in working in areas like watershed development, plantation of trees, honey processing, bio fuel development, utilization of fly ash produce by thermal power stations etc.
Rural Development and welfare of farmers: NCT strongly believes that, Rural Development is the only solution for the better future of India. NCT strongly believes in Mahatma Gandhi’s vision of India’s Prosperity. Our country’s progress lies in the prosperity of villages. Hence NCT works for Rural Development particularly for rural women. Also since agriculture is the backbone of our economy, it is necessary that farmers become prosperous. Hence NCT works for farmers by giving them training in latest farming techniques, organic farming, alternative income sources, formation of farmers’ SHGs and their federations in order to create unity at times of crises in agriculture etc.
Health and sanitation: NCT believes in providing strong basic health facility via Rural Sanitation, AIDS awareness camps, family planning programmes, women and child health care, eradication of malnutrition, pulse polio drive, de-addiction, blood donation camps etc. NCT believes that better sanitation in rural areas leads to better health. Open defecation is a concern for our country. NCT aims and is committed to support the rural families in construction of toilets.
Rural Habitat: Shelter is one of the basic human needs. Over 70% of the Indian population lives in rural areas. Most of them do not have a comfortable dwelling. NCT aims at providing support to the rural poor through proper resources, for their need of constructing low cost houses
