The Sri Sathya Sai Village Integrated Programme has its genesis from the infinite compassion of Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba towards the poor, downtrodden, ignorant and innocent people living in the villages. On the auspicious day of Ugadi (Telugu New Year Day) 2007, Bhagavan announced the launch of a new service activity directed towards transformation of villages. After initiating and sustaining several service activities for the betterment of the poorer sections of our society, Bhagavan in his Ugadi message stressed the importance of holistic service activities directed towards upliftment of our villages. Bhagavan underscored the importance of an integrated approach to service for offering lasting and sustainable solutions to the various problems afflicting different sections of society. Following the divine guidance of Bhagavan the new holistic service activity was named Sri Sathya Sai Village Integrated Programme (SSSVIP).
