Small Steps, Big Impact
At Smart Village Movement (SVM), every step we take is rooted in a simple belief: transformation begins at the grassroots.
This past month, we joined hands with Eco-Ri, Greentech Foundation, local communities, and college volunteers for a meaningful clean-up drive at Umiam Lake.
With the help of over 50 volunteers and our partner Clearbot’s AI-powered robot, waste was collected. It will soon be transformed into a waste-to-art installation—a powerful reminder that local action can spark lasting change. The sculpture will be unveiled next month.
We also bid a fond farewell to our Meghalaya State Director, Tulenam Laloo, as he launches a tourism venture to unlock rural potential through experience-based travel. His legacy of innovation and impact continues as he steps into an advisory role at SVM.
Meanwhile, 20 students from Mawngap School in Meghalaya are connecting across continents in an English communication workshop led by our UK-based international intern—opening new windows to the world.
These stories remind us that rural India is bursting with possibility. And this is just the beginning.
Join us. Support comes in many forms: skills, time or funding. Together we can co-create happiness and opportunities for all.
With hope and action,
SVM Team & Trustees
