Council for Advancement of People's Action and Rural Technology (CAPART) Recruitment 2025 - Sarkari Naukri

The Council of Advancement of People’s Action and Rural Technology (CAPART) is an autonomous body set up by the Ministry of Rural Development to interface between the government and NGOs that seek to improve the quality of life in India’s rural areas. Since 69% of India’s population lives in rural areas, this is a significant undertaking. CAPART’s mission is to extend the reach of the government programs to remote areas and their marginalized people through these NGOs. It has assisted in the creation of NGOs as well as provided existing ones with training and financial support, before securing their help in its mission. Of late, however, experts have questioned CAPART’s autonomy and its efficacy in its present form. The organization depends on funds of Rs. 104.05 crore ($19.5 million USD), wholly contributed by the government. CAPART also lacks consistent leadership: 27 different administrative service officers (top-rung bureaucrats) have led the body during its first 24 years.
