Learn MoreCillage is a visionary development model that seamlessly integrates knowledge, research, technology, values, and livelihoods to transform rural regions into vibrant hubs of opportunity.
Moving beyond the traditional divide between urban and rural India, Cillage creates a knowledge bridge—bringing world-class education, healthcare, innovation, entrepreneurship, and skill development into rural ecosystems, while connecting them directly to markets and global opportunities.
At its core, Cillage believes that true national progress is not measured only by GDP, but by inclusive growth, ethical grounding, and empowered communities. By nurturing universities, research centres, hospitals, schools, innovation labs, and enterprises within rural settings, the model enables young minds to innovate locally and compete globally—without being forced to migrate to cities.
When these elements come together in a rural landscape, the impact multiplies—creating sustainable prosperity, reducing inequality, and enriching both rural and urban futures.
Cillage is the next step in nation-building: A future where villages are not left behind, but lead the way.
BKL Walawalkar Hospital was built in 1996 to provide state-of-the-art medical facilities and services under one roof at affordable rates. The hospital, with the capacity of 810 beds, is attached to the BKL Walawalkar Rural Medical college. Hospital and Rural medical colege has proven to be a boon for the people of Konkan region.
Developing a Cillage ecosystem would need a rooted and integrated approach to holistic education, research and technology-enabled enhancement of rural livelihood. Based on this theme, B.K.L Walawalkar Rural Medical College was established in the year 2015.
In addition to the innovative projects in medical field for the betterment of rural people, it is necessary for us to get ourselves involved in integrated, locally relevant research in healthcare. In order to take the hospital to the next level, Scientific Advisory Committee was formed for fresh and novel ideas from the experts in the field, who genuinely want to contribute to the upliftment of mankind. SAC is led by Padmavibhushan Dr. Anil Kakodkar.
