How Gujarat Vatan Prem Yojana is Revolutionizing Rural Development Through NRI Contributions Gujarat’s rural landscape is witnessing a heartwarming transformation, thanks to the state government’s Vatan Prem Yojana (Homeland Love Scheme). This visionary initiative encourages Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) to contribute to their ancestral villages through a public-private partnership (PPP) model, fostering sustainable development.

A Bridge Between NRIs and Their Roots
Launched in 2021, the scheme allows Gujarati diaspora to voluntarily fund projects like school renovations, infrastructure upgrades, and community welfare programs. The emotional connection to their homeland drives NRIs to invest in education, healthcare, and modern amenities, ensuring their villages thrive.
Success Stories: From Dreams to Reality
- Khadal Village (Kheda District) – A School That Inspires
Sarpanch Phoolsinh Jala proudly shares how NRIs donated ₹72 lakhs to build a new school, benefiting 400+ students.
“Children are excited, and neighboring villages visit to see this change. When they ask how it happened, I tell them—it’s the power of Vatan Prem Yojana!” - Uttarsanda (Kheda) – A Smart Village in the Making
With ₹9 crores in NRI donations, this village of 12,000 now boasts:
Smart classrooms with projectors & CCTV
Renovated ponds & bus stands
Modern crematorium (funded by Chicago-based Haribhai Patel)
Kaushikbhai Patel, an NRI donor, emotionally says:
“We live abroad, but our hearts beat for Gujarat. This scheme gives us a chance to give back.”
Why Vatan Prem Yojana Stands Out
- Emotional Connect – NRIs contribute out of love, not obligation.
- Sustainable Growth – Focus on education, infrastructure, and heritage.
- Transparent System – Funds directly benefit villages with zero middlemen.
