IViL is a discussion forum and an action platform for the students of IIT Madras to implement their thoughts for rural India.

Discussion forum

We believe that action without deliberation is neither efficient nor effective. We endeavor to foster an environment for intellectual discussion through KnowEx or Knowledge Exchange sessions, rural visits and by thorough documentation of activities.

Action Platform

Some of the greatest lessons are learnt only when moving from the stage of ideas to execution. This is facilitated by means of short and long-term projects or social experiments taken up by the group to positively impact the rural community.
