"My idea of village swaraj is that it
is a complete republic, independent of its neighbours for its own vital wants,
and yet interdependent for many others in which dependence is a necessity”.
Mahatma Gandhiji says this. We strongly believe the youngsters will put their
efforts to make true of Mahatma’s dreams on village development as it’s the
backbone of our country.
Thank
you all for being part of the Smart Hackathon and making it a grand success.
