World Vision India’s Nilgiris ADP has been bringing development in the lives of people living in poverty. Through World vision’s support, poor families in rural Nilgiris have been able to lease tea land, rear sheep, run petty shops and small businesses to generate sufficient income for three meals a day.
“The project has provided the children the training necessary for taking care of these saplings. We also plan to present awards to children who have taken good care of their saplings,” says K. Vetriselvan John, Programme Manager, World Vision Area Development Programme in Nilgiris.

With no lights on the streets and no lights in the residences, nothing could ever be done after the sunset. Life was filled with uncertainty and dangers after the dusk. This was the plight of the people living in the rough terrain of Sundar Pahari, Godda district.
However, today you will find soothing blue lights in 576 residences and 10 street lights in 10 different locations. Thanks to the World Vision Area Development Programme at Godda that has converted the farfetched dream of the people in the community into a wonderful reality.
The people of this area are extremely happy. Mothers can now carry out their domestic chores and fathers can run the petty business late till night. The distribution of lights has made the school-going girls regain their confidence as they now can study in the evening after doing all the house-hold chores. Children can come together for group study in the evenings. They are able to do their home works during night and thus concentrate on their studies.
Thanks to the donors of World Vision, who have given the people of Sundar Pahari a brighter tomorrow. You too can change lives.
