About the Conference:
Imperative for Rural Entrepreneurship
Mahatma Gandhi famously said “India lives in villages”. Even after more than 50 years majority of the Indian population still belong to villages. Though there is substantial migration from rural to urban areas in India in the recent years, almost 68% of India continues to live in rural areas and over 50% of them are primarily dependent for their livelihood on agriculture, which provides only seasonal employment and meagre incomes.Contribution of agriculture and allied services to the GDP of India has reduced considerably from 51.88% in 1950 to 13.94% in 2013. Nearly 26% of people in rural India are poor, compared to 13.7% in urban areas. This has been forcing the rural population to migrate to cities.
A balanced and inclusive economic development of the India needs accelerated Rural Entrepreneurship which will also reduce the migration of labour from villages to cities. A lot of opportunities beckon Rural entrepreneurs in manufacturing sectors, leveraging local resources, in sectors like Agri processing, Agri implements, textiles, handicrafts etc. There is also potential in service sectors like, retail, servicing agri implements, education, health care, micro-financing etc. While Government as well as Private Corporates has been putting in concerted efforts to promote Rural Entrepreneurship, there are a lot of challenges to make it a success. Despite constraints, a number of Rural Entrepreneurs have been successful in India as well as in Jharkhand.
Objective:
This conference is aimed at examining the opportunities, issues and challenges and way forward for promoting the Rural Entrepreneurship in India.
