Whether you want to do voluntary work in India, volunteer abroad on a low budget, teach English in India, visit an international development project, or visit an Indian village, this could be the scheme for you. <br><br> The Experience Rural India scheme allows people to visit development projects in rural India. The scheme is extremely flexible and cheap and allows anyone over the age of 18 to visit India for between three weeks and six months. You do not require any special skills or knowledge but after attending an orientation in the UK and in India, you can visit projects all over India, ranging from educational to environmental, or from health to supporting women. <br><br> <H2>A cheap way to visit an overseas development project</H2> <br><br> The scheme has very low placement fees compared with schemes offered by othered organisations, so the scheme is particularly suitable for low budget travellers to India, students and gap year travellers wanting a cultural encounter in India, people wanting to discover the real India on a low budget, and people wanting to do voluntary work in India on a low budget. <br> </TD> </TR> </Table> </p> </body>
