PURA (Providing Urban amenities in Rural Areas) is a notable program initiated by His Excellency, the former President of India, Dr. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam.
The perspective of the program is enhancement of living standards in villages. This is achieved by facilitating access to all the basic facilities like Roads, Water, Lighting, School, Communication, Healthcare, and Employment Opportunities in rural areas. In turn it will check the migration from rural areas to urban with urban facilities and improved income generation available within the rural folds.
