I am pleased to appreciate the excellent work being done by Mount Valley Development Association in rural and mountain communities. The organization has shown strong commitment to rural development, women’s empowerment, livelihoods, and community capacity building, reaching even the most remote areas. MVDA’s work is supported by a dedicated and professional team that is deeply connected with the communities they serve, ensuring real and lasting impact. I am also happy to note the collaboration between Hemvati Nandan Bahuguna Garhwal University and MVDA through an MoU, which is helping to connect academic learning with field-based community work. Overall, MVDA stands out as a strong example of community-focused and sustainable development work, and I extend my best wishes for their continued efforts.
