This document discusses the roles of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and rural entrepreneurship. It describes how NGOs operate independently of governments to pursue social aims. NGOs have worked with organizations like EDI to provide training and support to rural entrepreneurs. Workshops bring together NGOs, bankers, and other support systems to discuss rural entrepreneurship development strategies and ensure funding is available for trained entrepreneurs. The document emphasizes the importance of rural entrepreneurship in generating employment and the roles that NGOs can play in creating awareness and development programs.
A brief presentation on the analysis of Rural Entrepreneurship from various sectors. Includes a few Rural Entrepreneurship Projects already operating in India.
Strategies for Supporting Rural Entrepreneurshipnado-web
What makes entrepreneurship different in rural places than in larger cities? What resources are needed to support rural
entrepreneurs with the guidance and expertise that they need to succeed? How do entrepreneurs contribute to the community, and what barriers do they commonly face? And what does culture, leadership, and local history have to do with it all? This session will highlight strategies for creating and sustaining effective entrepreneurial ecosystems in rural communities and regions through real-world examples, case studies, and interactive small group discussions.

Role of cooperatives in rural development, the case of.j.sjbm.20150304.12kemal1983
For small land-holding, developing and agricultural based economic countries like Ethiopia, cooperative type of
business is recommended as a solution to promote income distribution, reduce poverty and vulnerability, and improve quality of life and social welfare.
BESIDES the cooperatives and other forms of organisations, there is yet another form of enterprise which is organised voluntarily by the members themselves to meet a variety of their needs. The Self-Help Groups [SHGs] are such organisations which are formed, nourished and managed by the members themselves.
The SHGs, people’s voluntary and informal institutions, are organised as viable alternative to achieve the objectives of rural development and to get community participation in rural development programmes. These are similar to traditional group activities in all communities. It is a new form of a movement which aims at reducing the incidence of poverty through the provision of easy credit. In case of self-movement, thrift and credit are the entry points of activity. Micro-finance or provision of financial services to low-income households, have come to be accepted in policy implementation as the most efficacious intervention to alleviate poverty, enhancing agricultural production and developing local leadership.
A Self-Help Group is an informal organisation of not less than 10 and not more than 20 people from the poorer section of the village society, organised, owned, operated and controlled by the members in a democratic manner, based on solidarity, reciprocity, common interest and resource pooling. Self-Help Group is a social design in which people participate by making themselves socially and economically accountable to each other. All SHGs are not necessarily linked to lead/focal bank because they do not need external credit except the support from their sponsoring organisations.
SHGs have been promoted under various programmes and by various development agencies. It has been found that SHGs can serve the needs of the small farmers better than the cooperatives. It is believed that Self-Help Groups are a sub-system of cooperatives.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
3. WHAT’S AN NGO???
HOW IT WORKS….
• A non-governmental organization (NGO) is a legally constituted organization created by
NATURAL or LEGAL PERSONS that operates independently from any form of
GOVERNMENT.
• The term originated from the UNITED NATIONS (UN), and is normally used to refer to
organizations that are not a part of the government and are not conventional for-profit business.
• In the cases in which NGOs are funded totally or partially by governments, the NGO maintains
its non-governmental status by excluding government representatives from membership in the
organization.
• The term is usually applied only to organizations that pursue wider SOCIAL aims that have
POLITICAL aspects, but are not openly political organizations such as political parties.
• The number of NATIONALLY OPERATING NGO’S is estimated at 40,000. International
numbers are even higher: RUSSIA has 277,000 NGOs; INDIA is estimated to have around 3.3
million NGOs in year 2009, which is just over one NGO per 400 Indians, and many times the
number of primary schools and primary health centres in India.
4. NGO-BANKER’S INTERFACE ON
RURAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP..
• Rural India continues to suffer from lack of employment and self-employment opportunities
owing to its narrow economic base.
• In the recent past, considerable success has been achieved in developing rural poor through
entrepreneurship development approach which focuses on selectively utilising local talent,
appropriately developing them through training intervention and linking them with relevant
business opportunities.
• EDI implemented Rural Entrepreneurship Development (RED) Approach, in collaboration
with NGOs by training their development workers. One of the major hurdles faced in the
process is non-availability of required and timely financial support to trained entrepreneurs.
It was, therefore, felt that the desired success rate could not be achieved in REDPs despite
best possible training inputs, because of non-availability of funds from banks to trainees.
• Keeping this in view, EDI conducts workshops for bankers to make them aware of the
REDP approach and the role of support system therein.
• Objectives of this workshop :
• To share EDI's rural entrepreneurship development experience and approach
5. CONT….
• To provide orientation to the participants regarding rural entrepreneurship development
strategy as a viable alternative, role of NGOs and the support systems
• To expose the participants to various phases of RED training intervention
• To provide a common platform to NGOs and support system officials, to discuss various
issues pertaining to success of RED activity
• To evolve a future course of action for rural entrepreneurship development and involvement
of NGOs and the support system for maximum impact.
• These programmes attended by officers of Commercial / Regional Rural Banks/ SFC
branches operating in areas where REDPs have been or are to be implemented by EDI in
collaboration with NGOs, have generated positive response from the support system
officials for trained potential entrepreneurs.
6. WHAT’S AN RURAL
ENTREPRENEURSHIP???
• The problem is essentially lop sided development which is development of one
area to the cost of development of other.
• Some areas have to concentrated in the case of rural areas.
• For instance, the unemployment or underemployment in the villages that has led to
influx of rural population to the cities.
• Mere migration is not always undesirable but it should be the minimum as far as
employment is concerned.
• The sitiuation should be such that people should find it worthwhile to shift
themselves from towns and cities to rural areas because of realization of better
opportunities there.
• The migration from rural areas should not only get checked but overpopulated
towns and cities should also get decongested.
7.
8. EMPHASIS OF RURAL
ENTREPRENEURS…
• Entrepreneurs emerging in rural areas are generally termed as rural
entrepreneurs. These types of entrepreneurs give much emphasis on
establishment of industrial units in rural areas. Rural entrepreneurs have
paid special attention on village industries which are classified into the
following major categories.
• Agro-based Industry
• Textile Industry
• Polymer and chemical based Industry
• Engineering Industry
• Forest based Industry.
• There is a growing need for rural entrepreneurs because industrial units
undertaken by rural entrepreneurs are providing much employment to men
than machines. It has high potential for income generation in rural areas
because of more employment opportunities.
9. MEASURES TO BE IMPLEMENTED:
• The growth of rural entrepreneurs in 2nd five year plan is quite satisfactory.
As growth of rural entrepreneurs is not satisfactory, the following measures
are to be implemented for development of rural entrepreneurs.
• i. As raw materials constitute the basic ingredient of industry, there should
be free and continuous supply of raw materials. Continu8ous supply of raw
materials ensures continuous and smooth production process.
• ii. Rural entrepreneurs face inadequacy of capital which is regarded as the
life blood of business unit. Provision for adequate capital will facilitate
development of rural entrepreneurs.
• ii. Rural entrepreneurs face inadequacy of capital which is regarded as the
life blood of business unit. Provision for adequate capital will facilitate
development of rural entrepreneurs.
10. • iii. One of the major problems of rural entrepreneurs is marketing of product. The
problems of marketing can be solved by provision of common production cum
marketing centers.
• iv. Most of rural entrepreneurs accept this professional career not according to their
choice but by chance. This ensures lack of aptitude and competency. One can
overcome these difficulties by encouraging rural entrepreneurs.
• v. Rural industries fail not due to non-availability of facilities but non-awareness of
facilities. So different awareness programmers are to be encouraged for
development of rural entrepreneurs.
• In the present days different non-government organizations (NGOs) are formed for
developing awareness programmed on development of entrepreneurs. There are 3
different types of NGOs.
• vi. Primary level NGOs who mobilize their own resources. They operate at
international level for undertaking developmental activities. The examples of these
types of NGOs are ACTION AID and OXFAM.
• vii. Intermediate NGOs who obtains funds from various agencies. They conduct
different training programmers and workshop. The examples of intermediate NGOs
are SEWA and AWAKE.
• viii. Grass root levels NGOs denote a type of NGO which conduct field activities
by establishing linkage with grass root people. RUDSETI and ANARDE are the
best examples of grass root level NGO.
12. • The NGO entrepreneur of the TECHNOSOL after 12 years of
providing solar energy to rural areas of NICARAGUA.
• He made others to realize the importance of NGO as
EDI.(ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT INSTITUTION)…
13. CONCLUSION:
• HENCE, MANY NGOS ARE NOW TAKING PART IN THE RURAL
ENTREPRENEURSHIP FOR THE THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
TO BE HELD.. LIKE TECHNOSOL MANY NGOS ARE ACTIVELY
TAKING PART IN BUILDING THEIR STANDARDS AND NOT THAT
TOO THEY ARE GETTING REWARDS FROM GOVERNMENT FOR
THEIR ACTIVITIES…….
