VT India aims to emphasize rural development in its research and education initiatives.

Initiatives are designed to foster population centers that can rely on their own capabilities and resources to operate as functional, prospering and growing entities. Areas of focus include healthcare, urban planning, energy and water resources. Agricultural potential will also be explored in harmony with geographic, demographic and cultural contexts.
