If heaven were to be created on earth, it would look more like a village than a town. Working on this philosophy, the Society for Creation of Heaven on Earth (SCHE), works in close collaboration with Yuva Shakti cadres to benefit the farmers in rural India. The Society promotes the use of technology in agriculture and seeks funding for the programme of constructive work undertaken by the Yuva Shakti cadres.
