First Gramsabha for Leverage with Madhukhant Foundation gets amazing response!

Posted on October 25, 2010 by Jatin Chaudhary
Madhuvan

“Madhuvan Seva Sankul” is the brainchild of Mr. Kirit Shah ( Founder – Madhukant Foundation) envisioned for the overall development of “Sadra” and surrounding villages. Since least 10 years he is involved in many activities for village development thru his “Janhit Foundation” and realized he’s responsibility doesn’t end at “Janhit Foundation” only, he should set up a base for the people who wants to do something for the village and this lead to the dream of one-of-its-kind “Madhuvan Seva Sankul”.

Model Center for Leverage
