Unnat Bharat Abhiyan (Uba) : Format For Writing Applied Project Proposal
• Project Title
• Objective
• Justification for the project
• Activities and implementation timeline
• Methodology, materials and financial resources
• Outcomes/Impact
Project title: The project title should be short, concise, and preferably refer to a
certain key project result or the leading project activity.
Project objectives: The objectives (or aims) should focus on outcome supposed to be
achieved from the proposal. The objectives should address the core problem in terms of the
benefits to be received by the Primary stakeholders/ beneficiaries/community as a proposed
outcome of the project.
Project justification: Due to its importance usually this section is divided into three sub-
sections
i) Problem statement: The problem statement provides a description of the specific problems,
the project is trying to solve in order to “make a case” for the project. The project proposal
should also point out why a certain issue is a problem for the community or society as a
whole.
ii) Priority needs: The needs of the Primary stakeholders (target group) that appear as a direct
consequence of the described problem. The needs of the target group should be prioritised.
Through participating approaches for example, if the problem is stated as poor infrastructure
in the community, the list of needs associated with this problem e.g. improved water supply in
quality and quantity, improved solid waste management, improvement of irrigation system,
etc. Methodology of participatory approach be specified.
Brief plan of activities and implementation timeline: The activities implementation should
describe plan of action, technology and resource allocation in detail including specific
information of the proposed project. The duration of the project should be clearly stated with

methodology to carry out the project with proper reference e.g. scientific journal for the

Also, PIs should mention expenditure details expected from UBA fund and other funding
resources.
Outcomes/Impact of project: PIs should clearly mention outcomes and impact on the
community

3. Where could be the technology installed, who will manage and maintain? How the
system would be maintained after implementation of the project?
7. The cost of the project should be mentioned as per UBA norms (Rs. 1 Lakh for
Technology
Development and Rs.0.50 Lakh for customization of technology).
