CAPART (Council for Advancement of People's Action and Rural Technology) was an autonomous organization established by the Government of India under the Ministry of Rural Development. It aimed to promote rural development by supporting and strengthening voluntary organizations (VOs) and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) working at the grassroots level.
The primary objectives of CAPART were:
Capacity Building: Enhancing the capabilities and capacities of VOs/NGOs to implement sustainable development projects and programs in rural areas.
Resource Mobilization: Facilitating financial assistance and technical support to VOs/NGOs for undertaking community development initiatives.
Promotion of Technology: Encouraging the adoption and dissemination of appropriate rural technologies to improve productivity, livelihoods, and quality of life in rural communities.
Networking and Collaboration: Fostering partnerships, collaboration, and networking among VOs/NGOs, government agencies, academic institutions, and other stakeholders involved in rural development.
CAPART provided financial assistance, technical guidance, training, and networking opportunities to VOs/NGOs through various schemes and programs. It aimed to empower local communities, promote self-reliance, and facilitate inclusive and sustainable rural development across India.
In 2018, CAPART was merged with the National Institute of Rural Development and Panchayati Raj (NIRDPR) to streamline rural development efforts and strengthen institutional capacities for effective implementation of rural development programs.
