Target 3 Billion: Pura: Innovative Solutions Towards Sustainable Development

More than 3 billion people live in villages around the world today, in underdeveloped and developing nations, and also in some parts of the developed world, lacking basic amenities and resources, in conditions that are often deplorable. There are major disparities between living conditions in urban and rural areas, which are typically manifested in the differences in income levels and available facilities, and in the quality of life as a whole. This underutilization of the talents of half the world's population is not only a massive waste of opportunity but a serious human development issue and a concern for the sustenance of prosperity and peace globally.
