Dr. Spencer Hatch of the Young Men's Christian Association (YMCA) set up a Project in 1921 at Martandam, 25 miles south of Thiruvananthapuram.
The purpose of this experiment was to bring about a complete upward development towards a more complete and meaningful life for rural people.
This village was undeveloped economically and the economic condition of the native majority was poor.
The objectives of the project were:

•Physical Development

•Economic Development
The major achievements of the programme were the change in the attitudes of the rural people, formation of a desire to improve the spirit of cooperation and self-respect.
