GRAMODAYA NATIONAL CONFERENCE ON RURAL DEVELOPMENT

In the post neo-liberal phase, the rural society in India has witnessed many changes, and faced many challenges. The market has penetrated more into the rural economy. Globalization has influenced rural life more profoundly than ever before. Rural social inequality has increased more, and so also distress in the economy. Environmental changes have become more pronounced as they affect the climate and the agricultural economy. The water crisis looms large. Privatization has made health and education less affordable. At the same time, cities provide opportunities for the rural youth who also aspire to a new way of living, thanks to the influence of the media. In short, rural society faces many challenges; and it is imperative for the state and the civil society to find effective ways to deal with these developmental issues.
With this background, the Two-Day National Conference on Rural Development is initiated by the School of Rural Development, Tata Institute of Social Science, Tuljapur. The conference aims to provide a platform for academicians, researchers, practitioners, industry professionals and young scholars to discuss the latest issues in the field of rural development. The event will provide networking opportunities in various areas of rural development and foster interdisciplinary collaboration and academic growth. The conference seeks to broaden our understanding of diverse aspects such as, agriculture, health, social inequality, women empowerment, sustainability, rural economy & livelihood, government schemes for rural India etc.
