LIC HFL Hriday Project

Our Initiative

Improve Living Standards

In the remote hills of Syalde, where families have long struggled with fragile incomes, scarce healthcare, and limited infrastructure, a new heartbeat of hope is emerging. The Hriday Project, supported by LIC Housing Finance Ltd. and implemented by Sanjeevani NGO, is not just a CSR initiative—it is a movement of dignity, resilience, and empowerment. It seeks to ignite livelihoods, strengthen communities, and build futures that endure, ensuring that every household in these 60 villages steps into self‑reliance with pride. The project covers 8060 population in all.

Our Strategy

Agri-Horticulture

Reviving millets, enabling climate-smart polyhouses, and securing slope-side water—blending tradition with innovation to empower vulnerable farmers with resilient, year-round livelihoods.

Education

School infrastructure was upgraded to ensure quality education, safe water, clean toilets, learning walls, labs, gyms, and solar lights— bridging the urban-rural gap so every child can learn and thrive.

Women Empowerment

Female-led VDCs, government bridges, and goat-rearing skills—uniting inclusion, advocacy, and livelihoods for resilient rural empowerment.

Health

Lighting villages with solar power and planting sustainable orchards—safer nights, longer productivity, and lasting income, all while shrinking carbon footprints.

Environment

Illuminating villages with Solar Street Lights. Safer Nights, Zero Emissions, Community-Powered.

Program Objective

This project aims to empower rural hilly communities through comprehensive planning, context-specific system design, and targeted capacity building. It will develop sustainable infrastructure such as solar lighting, irrigation, and polyhouses, while diversifying livelihoods through goat rearing, millet cultivation, and fruit cultivation. By strengthening market linkages, empowering village committees, and promoting health camps, the initiative fosters self-reliance. Environmental sustainability and eco-friendly farming are prioritized alongside active gender and social inclusion, ensuring equitable, resilient, and participatory community development outcomes.

The HRDP Promise

In Sulah, HRDP with HDFC Bank CSR Parivartan empowers communities beyond infrastructure—building climate‑resilient, gender‑inclusive self‑reliance. Success is surplus: energy, earnings, agency. Progress spreads as villagers lead, health endures, and choices remain local. What begins as support becomes lasting strength, shaping futures without end.

What The Future Holds

Communities are now on their way to becoming proactive problem-solvers, embracing agency and dignity over dependency. Women are taking the lead, farmers are becoming progressive, and youth are taking the lead—making local power a legacy for future generations.
