It aims to bring the rich diversity of the country to the citizens, a story of the country which is rich in Its multiple languages, crafts, professions, songs, cuisines and of course culture and people. Its website features stories of remote rural villages and people whose lives go unnoticed, the contributions are made by the rural folk themselves besides conscious youth and anyone who is interested in discovering and documenting the variety and traditions of India. It invites students to visit people and write about their experiences covering a rich diversity of topics like farmers, land, women and their contributions, migrant populations, economic facts and figures, It welcomes photos, videos, short films and any such media which can be saved and serve as a living account in Its online archives.
