ProGramPanchayat is a not-for-profit social venture formed with an aim to bridge the gap between India and Bharat. We believe that remote work is the most powerful tool to make it happen. We have lived in villages while working on our laptops. We have seen people transform villages while working remotely. At the same time, we have seen these people embracing local, sustainable ways of living. We want to make it a nationwide movement.
