Video Volunteers

Video Volunteers (VV) runs India's only reporting network that's focused exclusively on providing broad coverage from the poorest, most media-dark districts in India. We currently have 206 individuals trained across India's most diverse and marginalised communities, who all earn a living as a VV Community Correspondent (CC). Our goal is to grow our network to ensure India's poorest and most conflict-ridden districts have a video producer and news outlet.

This week in India Loud & Clear we visit the country’s flagship housing scheme to see how close India is to pucca houses for all.

Is the government able to address the housing needs of millions of Indians? A dream scheme to provide ‘Housing for all’ 

India is the country of massively and ambitious development programs. We would all live in Mr. and Mrs. Perfect Country if these schemes were realized. But is this government able to address the housing needs of millions of Indians? How is PM Modi’s housing scheme Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana doing? India Loud & Clear is a weekly news show produced by Video Volunteers, the media organization by and for Community Correspondents. We bring you no breaking news, no sensation — only community voices. Loud & Clear.
