Dehradun, May 6th, 2016: District Magistrate, Shri Ravinath Raman, inaugurated the ‘Chandroti Gram Sabha Development Programme’ a comprehensive community engagement initiative undertaken by Antara Senior Living and Max India Foundation (MIF) in Chandroti Gram Sabha, Purukul.
The project area covers four villages in the Gram Sabha namely, Chandroti, Jamoliwala, Guniyal Gaon and Saloniwala with a total population of approximately 1,064.
