Gadwal: A 'Monthly Ekal Abhiyan Training Camp' was organized today at the Brahmangari Temple in Aija. The event witnessed enthusiastic participation from Ekal Abhiyan volunteers and leaders, with a shared goal of empowering rural India through education, health, and sustainable livelihoods.

He emphasized that education remains at the core of the movement, but the mission has now expanded towards holistic village development. This includes digital literacy, women empowerment, basic health services, sustainable agriculture, job creation, and skill development initiatives. These efforts are aligned with the broader goal of building self-reliant and progressive rural communities.
