Project Sarvoday (also known as Sarvoday Gramin Vikaas Program) is an initiative of the M3M Foundation. It is part of the Government of Haryana's integrated village development program. Under this initiative, villages in the state are being selected to receive support in education, health, skill development, and environmental programs.
History
The project was initially tested by the M3M Foundation as a pilot in 2020 with 13 villages in Odisha, aiming to make them self-sustainable within the next three years.{{Cite web |title=Haryana Government Inks MoU With M3M Foundation To Facilitate Students’ Online Preparation For Government Jobs |url=https://bwpeople.in/article/haryana-government-inks-mou-with-m3m-foundation-to-facilitate-students%E2%80%99-online-preparation-for-government-jobs-313215 |access-date=2024-07-28 |website=BW People |language=en}}

The project's primary focus is to provide renewable energy sources like solar power, potable drinking water, and water conservation and strengthen the existing primary healthcare system.{{Cite web |date=2023-05-06 |title=CSR: M3M Foundation Launches 'Sarvoday' Program in Nuh District |url=https://indiacsr.in/csr-m3m-foundation-launches-sarvoday-program-in-nuh-district/ |access-date=2024-07-28 |language=en-US}}
