2 day International Conference on “Rural Planning and Development-India’s Rural Economies in Transition” at the Cordia Group of Institutions, Sanghol, Punjab on the 17th & 18th Nov 2012.
The rural market in India accounts for 74.3% of the total population and generates over half of the country's income, as rural areas comprise the majority of consumers. Rural marketing can be classified into markets for consumer goods and agricultural inputs. While government programs have improved conditions, rural regions still have low literacy and income alongside traditional values, posing impediments to development. The vast rural market remains largely unexploited and offers significant opportunities.
Rural development programs in India have historically aimed to improve quality of life and economic well-being in rural areas. Several key programs and organizations have been established over time to administer rural development efforts, address issues, and provide services. These have included community development programs launched in 1952 as well as various ministries and departments of rural development established between 1974-1995. Rural development efforts have focused on sectors like agriculture, education, health, housing, and infrastructure development through various initiatives over the decades since independence.
Rural development is a complex process that aims to improve living conditions in rural areas. It requires integrated efforts across sectors like infrastructure, public services, health, education, employment and standard of living. While the government and private sector have undertaken development initiatives, rural areas still lag significantly behind cities in these areas. Effective rural development strategies require addressing issues like inadequate infrastructure, lack of opportunities, traditional mindsets, and ensuring balanced growth between rural and urban regions.
Rural development aims to improve living conditions in rural areas through agriculture development and other initiatives. It targets improvements in human resources, land reforms, infrastructure, poverty alleviation, and local resources. Rural development includes short, medium, and long-term credit from various sources for productive and unproductive purposes. It also involves agriculture marketing through assembly, storage, processing, transport, and distribution of commodities. Government interventions include market regulation, infrastructure, cooperatives, minimum prices, grading, and information dissemination to support rural development.
Rural development aims to improve quality of life and economic well-being in rural areas. Rural development has traditionally focused on exploiting land-based natural resources like agriculture and forestry. However, rural areas lag behind cities in many areas like infrastructure, education, employment opportunities, and access to technology. This is due to unequal distribution of resources between rural and urban areas. Addressing this imbalance through focused rural development programs and policies can help boost rural growth.

Rural Entrepreneur are the budding people in the rural area those are trying to convert there noble idea into business, and government is helping such people in Finance, Marketing, Technological aspect etc
Rural development in India has changed focus over time from agricultural development to a more inclusive approach addressing quality of life factors like health, education, and gender equality. Key challenges include high rural poverty rates, undernutrition, and dependence on small-scale farming. Current programs aim to boost rural employment and infrastructure through initiatives like NREGA, Bharat Nirman, and Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana, as well as provide social services and assistance through schemes like the National Social Assistance Programme and Indira Awas Yojana. Decentralized planning through strengthened panchayati raj institutions also aims to better address local needs.
This document discusses rural areas in India based on 2011 census data. Some key points:
- Approximately 70% of Indians, or 83.3 crore people, live in rural areas according to the 2011 census.
- The proportion of rural population declined from 72.19% in 2001 to 68.84% in 2011 as urbanization increased.
- Uttar Pradesh has the highest rural population at 15.5 crore people while Mumbai has the highest urban population at 5 crore people.
- Rural areas are defined as places with a population less than 5,000, density less than 400/sq km, and over 25% of males working in agriculture. Agriculture is the main livelihood
Poverty is defined as the lack of resources to participate in society and meet basic needs like food, clothing, shelter, healthcare, and education. It means insecurity, powerlessness, and social exclusion. Poverty is measured using indicators like literacy rates, nutrition levels, job opportunities, and access to clean water. The main causes of poverty in India include rapid population growth, low agricultural productivity, underutilized resources, unemployment, and social/political factors like the caste system and colonial exploitation. Government programs aim to reduce poverty through rural employment generation, asset provision, self-employment initiatives, and rural infrastructure development.
Poverty is defined as the lack of resources to participate in society and meet basic needs like food, clothing, shelter, healthcare, and education. Social scientists view poverty through indicators like illiteracy, malnutrition, lack of healthcare access, unemployment, and lack of clean water. The main causes of poverty in India include rapidly rising population, low agricultural productivity, underutilized resources, low economic growth, price rises, unemployment, shortage of capital, social factors like the caste system, and political exploitation under British colonial rule. The government of India has implemented numerous programs to reduce poverty such as integrated rural development, rural employment guarantee, self-employment initiatives, and poverty alleviation schemes focused on women, children, and desert regions
Rostow's stages of economic growth model outlines 5 stages of development: 1) traditional society, 2) preconditions for take-off, 3) take-off, 4) drive to maturity, and 5) age of high mass consumption. The take-off stage involves investment increasing to over 10% of GDP, triggering sustained economic growth. During drive to maturity, new industries replace old ones and agriculture declines as countries industrialize. In the final stage, per capita incomes rise enough for widespread consumer goods consumption. The document discusses these stages and their application to understanding rural development.
Employment generation programmes in India Jagriti Rohit
The document provides information about various rural employment guarantee and poverty alleviation schemes run by the Government of India, including:
1) The National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) which guarantees 100 days of employment per year to rural households.
2) The Sampoorna Grameen Rozgar Yojana (SGRY) which provides additional wage employment and food security through the creation of rural infrastructure.
3) The Swarna Jayanti Gram Swarozgar Yojana (SGSY) which aims to bring rural poor families above the poverty line through self-employment opportunities.
This document discusses integrated rural and urban development in India. It covers the policy background of prioritizing rural development, principal rural-urban interactions like villagers using urban facilities and working in nearby cities/towns. It also discusses factors driving increased interactions like transportation improvements and technology advances. Recommendations include expanding infrastructure, telecommunications, and education/skills programs to better integrate development across rural and urban areas.
rural reconstruction BEFORE AND AFTER INDEPENDENCE AND SCHEMES gsb nethi
Rural reconstruction implies renovation of the villages for the total wellbeing of. the ruralites It is oriented to their social, economic and political development.
The principal objectives of rural reconstruction include
(a) eradication of poverty by means of regeneration of cottage industries, establishment of cooperative societies, improvement of transport,
(b) spread of education,
(c) progress of health, (d) abolition of social malpractices like casteism, untouchability
The document discusses unemployment in rural areas of India. It defines unemployment and describes the different types, including open unemployment during seasonal periods for farmers, concealed or disguised unemployment where more workers are employed than necessary, and educated rural unemployment where more people are educated than there are jobs. The main causes of rural unemployment are rapid population growth, small landholdings, seasonal agriculture, and lack of alternative employment opportunities. Some solutions proposed include improving agriculture through irrigation, crop rotation, and use of machinery; developing small industries; public works programs; and controlling population growth.
This document discusses the interdependencies between urbanization and rural agricultural development. It argues that rural and urban development are closely linked and should inform policymaking. Small and intermediate cities play an important role by providing markets, infrastructure, and off-farm employment to support rural areas. Policies should aim to increase agricultural productivity, generate non-farm jobs, and promote a more balanced pattern of urbanization across small and intermediate cities rather than just large metropolitan areas. Strengthening rural-urban linkages through infrastructure, decentralization, and integrated land use planning can help improve quality of life in rural areas.
A rural area is defined as a geographic area outside of cities and towns that typically has a low population density and small settlements. Rural areas often involve agricultural uses and have ample open space between houses. The main objectives of rural development programs in the Philippines are to build infrastructure, improve health, education, living conditions, and generate employment opportunities through various initiatives like agrarian reform, cooperatives, and labor-intensive industries. Key government agencies overseeing rural development include the Cooperative Development Authority and programs focus on issues like nutrition, family planning, and rural electrification.
Potential for entrepreneurship in rural indiaVaishnav Kumar
The document discusses the potential for entrepreneurship in rural India. It notes that while agriculture employs 70% of the workforce, population growth is leading to overcrowding of farmland. Rural entrepreneurship could provide alternative employment opportunities. Some key points made include: rural entrepreneurship can generate employment and reduce income disparities; developing entrepreneurial skills through training is important; and sowing the idea of entrepreneurship in rural youth could revolutionize the economy if nurtured properly. Barriers like lack of funding, technical skills, and infrastructure need to be addressed to further develop rural entrepreneurship.
The document discusses rural development in India. It outlines several key schemes and organizations focused on rural development. The Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana scheme aims to connect rural habitations with paved roads. The National Rural Employment Guarantee Act provides employment opportunities in rural areas. Organizations like the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development provide credit and support rural economic development. Overall the document examines the government's efforts to promote growth in India's important rural sectors through various programs and institutions.
The document outlines topics related to rural planning including theories of rural development patterns in different countries, characteristics of rural land in Pakistan, approaches to rural development and criticisms, villages as focal points of planning, and elements of a conceptual framework for modern rural planning including basic needs, rural-urban linkages, and roads. It also defines key terms like rural areas, development, planning, and rural development and outlines aims of rural development plans like strengthening communities and diversifying rural economies while protecting landscapes.
Rural development aims to improve living standards and economic opportunities in rural areas through initiatives like improving agriculture, infrastructure, healthcare, and education. It is important for reducing poverty, increasing self-sufficiency, slowing rural to urban migration, and developing an educated workforce. Rural development programs in developing countries like Pakistan focus on integrated, bottom-up approaches and disseminating new technologies and practices to farmers to increase agricultural production and meet growing population needs. The philosophy of rural development recognizes it as a long-term, multi-sector process that requires participation of rural communities and addressing socio-economic and political factors that limit access to resources.

Presented as a part of the "Management of Rural and Social Sector" course of "MBA - Public Service Management and e-Governance" program of "A.B.V. Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management, Gwalior".
This document discusses rural development and agriculture in India. It defines rural development as improving quality of life and economic well-being in rural areas through increasing farm productivity. It also discusses sources of rural credit like banks and cooperatives, issues with rural banking, agricultural marketing, and government steps to improve marketing. Finally, it covers diversification of agriculture and organic farming which has benefits like being inexpensive, generating income, and being environmentally friendly.
The term rural development is of focal interest and is widely acclaimed in both the developed
and developing countries like India. In the Indian context rural development assumes special
significance for two important reasons. First about two thirds of the population still lives in
villages and there cannot be any progress so long as rural areas remain backward. Second, the
backwardness of the rural sector would be a major impediment to the overall progress of the
economy. Poverty in rural areas has remained by and large, the main focal point of governments
and development agencies. Sustainable rural development is the most effective way to
eliminate this curse. Aim of this paper is to study the relation between agriculture and rural
development, role of agriculture in sustainable rural development. Some tools for sustainable
rural development are also proposed.
The sustainable development of rural areas in India is a critical challenge, given the complexity
of the issues involved. This study aims to explore the concept of sustainable rural development,
its underlying principles, and its potential applications in the Indian context.
The study employs a qualitative research approach, drawing on data from secondary sources
such as academic articles, government reports, and policy documents. The analysis identifies
several key drivers of sustainable rural development, including community participation,
environmental conservation, and economic diversification.
India has a large population of over 1 billion people, with 70% living in rural villages. Agriculture is an important sector, though it only contributes around 22% to GDP despite 60% of the population being employed in agriculture and related sectors. There is potential to transform rural villages and agriculture through modern practices and small-scale processing industries in villages to generate more income and employment opportunities for rural populations. With increased investment in rural areas, India can better utilize its vast human resources to elevate the country's development.

Agriculture is very important for the Indian economy. It contributes significantly to national income, employment, exports, and food supply. While agriculture's contribution to national income has decreased over time due to other sectors growing, it still employs around half of India's workforce and exports many agricultural goods. The development of agriculture is crucial for improving rural incomes and living standards while also creating demand to support industrialization.
India has a large population of over 1 billion people, with 70% living in rural villages and relying on agriculture. However, agriculture only contributes around 16-22% to India's GDP, indicating much potential for growth. Transforming rural villages through modern agriculture practices, small-scale processing industries, and partnerships with large companies could provide alternative incomes and improve living standards for rural populations. This would allow India to better utilize its vast human resources and strengthen its economy.

Sustainibilie development in agriculture sector in indiajoysengupta22
The document discusses sustainable development in India's agricultural sector. It analyzes traditional, modern, and sustainable agricultural systems across ecological, economic, and social dimensions of sustainability. Agriculture is important for India's economy and food security, but current practices face sustainability issues. The document recommends promoting sustainable practices like organic matter retention, biodiversity, and small-scale labor intensity to increase long-term ecological, economic, and social sustainability in Indian agriculture.
Indian agriculture is one of the most important sectors of the Indian economy, providing livelihood for around 58% of the population. Major agricultural products include rice, wheat, oilseeds, cotton, and tea. While India ranks second worldwide in farm output and has suitable climate and land for agriculture, yields remain relatively low due to lack of technology and development. The government has initiated several programs to boost investment and modernization in the agriculture sector to make it more sustainable and productive.
This document discusses challenges facing India's agricultural sector. It notes that around 70% of Indians live in rural areas and are dependent on agriculture for their livelihood. However, agricultural growth has slowed to around 3.5% annually in recent decades, and crop yields have increased by only 1.4% per year. The three main challenges are: 1) raising agricultural productivity on limited land and water resources, 2) reducing rural poverty through inclusive strategies that create non-farm jobs, and 3) ensuring agricultural growth supports food security needs as population and incomes rise. Specific issues include outdated research and extension systems, poor irrigation infrastructure, and increasing competition for water.
IRJET- Agriculture Majorly Organic Farming Developed by Social Entrepreneurs ...IRJET Journal
This document discusses the role of social entrepreneurship in the development of organic farming in India. It outlines how social entrepreneurs are developing innovative business models, like the Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) model, to directly connect organic farmers to customers. Two social entrepreneurship organizations mentioned are Ecofarma and Chetna Organics, which are working to promote organic farming and the CSA business model. The document also provides background on the historical development of social entrepreneurship and how it has been used internationally and in India to address agricultural problems and promote organic farming practices.
Role of Corporate Social Responsibility in Rural IndiaRHIMRJ Journal
More than 60% of India's population lives in rural areas and depends on agriculture for employment and livelihood. Rural development faces issues related to infrastructure, healthcare, education, and socioeconomic conditions. Corporate social responsibility can play an important role in rural development by investing in infrastructure, public services, communication networks, agriculture, healthcare, education, and skill development. This will help generate employment opportunities and improve living standards in rural India.

Indian Economy a key factor for shaping Indian Society and Law: A case of Indian Farmer’s Loan: How Loan Waivers has become a part of Election manifesto and impacts of such loan waivers over Farmers and Indian Economy.
The document discusses the importance of agriculture and agro-industries in India and the state of Orissa. It notes that agriculture is the backbone of the Indian economy, with over 64% of the labor force depending on it. However, Indian agriculture faces challenges like low productivity and disguised unemployment. To address this, the document advocates for rural industrialization through setting up agro-industries in rural areas. This would provide farmers access to important inputs, create local markets, add value to agricultural outputs, and generate rural employment. Overall, the development of agro-industries is seen as crucial for improving agricultural productivity and supporting rural economic growth.
Agricultural Reform and Business in India v1.0Sachin Yadav
Although rising incomes are contributing to expanding and diversifying food demand in India, investment in Indian agriculture has remained low relative to other sectors and grown slowly since the early 1990s. The paper proposes land consolidation and reformation to transform Indian agriculture from a subsistence-based economy to a market-based agribusiness model with consolidated public land ownership combined with private capital ownership. This is aimed to resolve issues of low agricultural productivity growth and increasing rural poverty in India.
India lives in villages” -said Mahatma Gandhi – father of nation-many decades ago-
Even after 100 years - data does not seem to disagree
Villages House majority of Indian population
-69% --roughly one-eleventh of humanity on planet earth
- almost 67% households-- still in rural areas
- Despite decline – villages will hold large population
- more than 50% before 2050
India- second largest urban/rural system globally after China
- - 6.4 lakh Villages Vs 0.079 lakh towns/cities
- 833 million pop Vs 377 million - 2011
Villages critical to India’s growth
Provider of food;- daily/basic needs of human living
Provider of basic/raw material for industrial processing
Mainstay of industry& national economy
One of Major contributor to Indian GDP
Offering largest consumer market
Houses largest manpower/work force
-Rural economy - primarily agrarian
Large dependence of population on Agriculture
- characterized by- Lower /limited productivity
- leading to - Poverty.
Agriculture contributes - 14 % of India’s GDP,
main source of income/ sustenance for- 69 % of rural population
Agriculture - strongly influences
-- food security

About 1/3 Rural India-- survives on a family income of Rs 5000/ month – Current income- India 1.79 lakh/capita/year
Rural development - easy to understand – difficult to implement.
- Rural areas face;
- Problem of physical/ planned development
- Villages prone to climate change and natural disasters
-- lack of adequate infrastructures , services , amenities,,

A Study of Agriculture Loan of Kotak Mahindra Bank (MBA Finance)Avinash Labade
Kotak Mahindra Bank is one of India's leading private sector banks, with a history dating back to 1984. The document provides details about a project report submitted by Avinash Dilip Labade to Savitribai Phule Pune University on "A Study of Agricultural Loan" for Kotak Mahindra Bank Shrirampur Branch. The 3-page report includes sections on the certificate, declaration, acknowledgements, index, and executive summary of the project report. It discusses the objectives, methodology, theoretical background, data analysis, findings, conclusions and suggestions of the study on agricultural loans provided by Kotak Mahindra Bank.
This document discusses the changing nature of rural livelihoods in India. It notes that while India's economy has grown, poverty and hunger remain problems, especially in rural areas. Agriculture's share of GDP and employment has declined as industry and services have grown. There has been a shift from staple crops to more cash crops, which has contributed to food insecurity. Rural livelihoods now involve a variety of activities beyond just agriculture due to these economic changes.
Role of non farm sector in the transformation of indias rural economyIAEME Publication
This document summarizes an article from the International Journal of Management about the role of the non-farm sector in transforming India's rural economy. It discusses how the non-farm sector has grown in importance with liberalization, providing employment as agriculture alone cannot support rural populations. Key points covered include how the non-farm sector helps smooth income flows and reduce vulnerability, growing non-farm employment in India, and the conclusion that the non-farm sector plays an important role in rural development as agriculture declines in importance.
This document discusses problems faced by farmers in India. It notes that over 58% of rural households depend on agriculture as their primary livelihood. Some key challenges include small land holdings, lack of technical knowledge, weather-dependent farming, low incomes, underdeveloped infrastructure, and inefficient bureaucracy. Farmers also face issues with seeds, fertilizers, irrigation and undeveloped infrastructure policies that slow agricultural growth. Addressing these problems could help improve conditions for farmers and support continued development of India's agricultural sector.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Conference invite
1. Rural Development Conference 2012
Dear Friends,
I am writing to invite you to a 2 day International Conference on “Rural Planning and
Development-India’s Rural Economies in Transition” at the Cordia Group of Institutions,
Sanghol, Punjab on the 17th & 18th Nov 2012.
During this conference, I propose to address the following issues:
1. India’s ongoing transformation from a primarily rural and agricultural societies to an
urban technological society. Gains or losses from these transitions
2. The economical and environmental parameters of this process.
3. Impact of Bio economies and how do we sustain them.
4. Impact of changing economies on society and life styles
5. Developing Entrepreneurship and Innovation culture.
The Rural Economy in India is mostly agriculture based and it is of tremendous importance
because it has vital supply and demand links with the other Indian industries.
Agriculture is the main stay of the Indian economy, as it constitutes the backbone of rural
India which inhabitates more than 70% of total Indian population. The fertility of the soil has
augmented the success of agriculture in India. Further, Rural Economy in India has been
playing an important role towards the overall economic growth and social growth of India.
Rural economy in India and its subsequent productivity growth is predicated to a large extent
upon the development of its 700-million strong rural population. The agricultural economy of
India is drafted according to the needs of rural India since majority of the population lives in
about 600,000 small villages. In India, agriculture accounts for almost 19% of Indian gross
domestic products (GDP).
The rural section of Indian population is primarily engaged with agriculture, directly or
indirectly. The Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Rural Infrastructure, and the Planning
Commission of India are the main governing bodies that formulate and implements the policy
2. related to rural economy in India and its subsequent development for the overall growth of
the Indian economy.
I hope you enjoy this 2 day conference at Sanghol. Should you wish to speak in any of the
sessions enlisted in the program, please send us an email on register.at.sanghol@gmail.com,
with your request. We will try and slot you in, provided we have spaces available.
