2. PERSONAL PROFILE
Having completed my bachelor degree in rural development over the past year I have gained an in depth knowledge of the whole
area of rural development. I learned a lot from this course and in particular I learned that ‘rural development’ is much more than
people living in rural areas with little or no services. The whole area around ‘Rural Development’ is huge and is something that each
and every one of us can relate to. The course itself considers a people centred approach to tackling rural development issues.
It was particularly interesting to explore all local and global rural development concerns and to review the influencing the
world in general and national policies and programmes. . My main objective is to make use of my knowledge and skills gained
in school and experiences i have with much focus into current practices, with the aim of acquiring success results at the end of the
given work time bound.
