A Report on
RURAL OUTREACH PROGRAM
Introduction
• Agriculture-
AICTE is supporting village by using technical knowledge of engineers. Their objective is to
involve engineering graduates and leverage their technical know-how for betterment of
villages. It involves water and electricity conservation, low-cost housing, skilling rural youth,
and sanitation related activities among others.
AICTE are trying to connect all technical institutions across the country and their students in
this activity. Most of the engineering graduates across the country are heading towards urban
areas for employment. But, if an engineer works in a village by setting up a start-up or any
other venture, it will help provide opportunities for employment of rural youth and doubling
the village’s income.
More than one million youths are graduating as engineers annually. If we can encourage even
1,000 or 2,000 students to work in villages, it will aid in improving condition of villages.
Technical institutions near the villages encourage the youths to send ideas to Innovation Cell
of AICTE. After filtering the most beneficial ideas, the Council also incubates them. Not only
this, AICTE is also spending a lot of money to support the rural youth in converting their ideas
into products beneficial for villages.
Apart from its role as a regulatory body, how is AICTE encouraging skill development among
youth in urban and rural areas?
In the curriculum prescribed by the AICTE for first year to final year students in technical
institutions, the focus is more on skilling or hands on experience. Theoretical component of the
curriculum has been reduced now and the practical/laboratory part or connecting them with the
industry has already begun.
So, our focus for institutions, located in urban area or rural area, is on providing industry
exposure to their students and also connecting them with the society. If students are able to
solve the problems of society, their acceptability in the society will enhance and undoubtedly
boost their confidence.
• Animal husbandry, Small industries and other occupation –
Animal husbandry is the branch of agriculture concerned with animals that are raised for meat,
fibre, milk, or other products. It includes day-to-day care, selective breeding, and the raising of
livestock. Husbandry has a long history, starting with the Neolithic Revolution when animals
were first domesticated, from around 13,000 BC onwards, predating farming of the first crops.
By the time of early civilisations such as ancient Egypt, cattle, sheep, goats, and pigs were being
raised on farms.
Many farmers in India depend on animal husbandry for their livelihood. In addition to
supplying milk, meat, eggs, wool, their castings (dung) and hides, animals, mainly bullocks,
are the major source of power for both farmers and dairies. Thus, animal husbandry plays an
important role in the rural economy.
Operation Flood, launched on 13 January 1970, was the world's largest dairy development
program and a landmark project of India's National Dairy Development Board (NDDB).] It
transformed India from a milk-deficient nation into the world's largest milk producer,
surpassing the United States of America in 1998 with about 22.29 percent of global output in
2018. Within 30 years, it doubled the milk available per person in India and made dairy farming
India's largest self-sustainable rural employment generator.] It was launched to help farmers
direct their own development and giving them control of the resources they create. All this was
achieved not merely by mass production, but by production by the masses; the process has since
been termed as the "White Revolution".
Objective
1) Identify effective methods for outreach to unrepresented and underrepresented populations
. 2) Describe and respond to cultural differences which influence how people with disabilities
participate in and benefit from independent living services
. 3) Create ways to network with agencies, governmental units, consumers, funders, and other
interested parties.
4) Structure and manage programs more effectively to respond to service, funding, distance, and
attitudinal barriers.
6) Awareness about, and response to, local mental health and wellbeing challenges.
8) Collaboration between health services, local government and other agencies to support and build
resilient communities.
Engineers are the members of society that are engaged in systematic development of technology, and
application of that technology to the benefit of society. It is a critically important responsibility that
engineers have. Engineering activities can have profound impact on society. Engineering cannot
operate in a vacuum separate from society. By its very nature engineering is bound up with society
and human behavior. Hence, the students must become knowledgeable on how society is organized,
how it functions, what are the issues it faces and how it uses or depends on technology.
The procedure comprises of field visits, case studies, analyzing government policies, discussion with
field officers and NGO executives. Students are motivated to inspect, observe and learn. In the year
2050, nearly 10 billion people will share our fragile planet. How will we ensure that they have access
to food, clean water, economical shelter, and universal health care? These challenges, like many that
have come before, are ones that engineers will help to address. Engineers have always played a role in
improving society through technology, in short, making the world a more livable place.
The term basically means the village where 80% of Indian population lives. Our country is farming
depended. On one hand we are developing in scientific areas, on other hand we are dealing with
cultivation.
The Government has tried to bring many reforms for the farmers but still much has to be done.
Through the rural outreach the student have tried to find the problems of the rural India and find
solution for the cause. The students are able to develop engineering skills to inculcate novel ideas for
uplifting the life style of rural areas as a contribution to our society.
To facilitate the process, the students go to particular village and prepare detailed study under the
following heads:- 1) Nutrition and health.
3) Condition of women.
4) Public services.
7) Education Facility.
8) General Awareness.
9) Infant mortality.
As of 2001 India census, Dharampuri had a population of 13,229. Males constitute 51% of the
population and females 49%. Dharampuri has an average literacy rate of 62%, higher than the
national average of 59.5%: male literacy is 70% and, female literacy is 53%. In Dharampuri,
16% of the population is under 6 years of age.
Dharampuri is that it is at the river side of Narmada and was the birthplace of Rani Roop Mati
who is mythologically the daughter of Maa Narmada and was wedded at Mandu with the
emperor Baj Bahadoor. It was also the place of worship of Maharshi Dadheechi who donated
his bones to Devas for fighting with the daityas.
Of historical importance is a copper-plate charter issued in V.S. 1031 (975 A.D.) by the
Paramara king Vakpati Munja, which were reportedly dug out by a farmer in his field at
Dharampuri. It records the gift of tax-free land to a Brahmin philosopher named
Vasantacharya, son of Pandita Dhanika, who had migrated from Ahicchatra to Malwa. The
continued religious importance of the town into the Sultanate period is attested by the Tal
Masjid, which preserves an inscription recording its construction by Shaikh Idrak in 910 H.
(1504-05 A.D.).
Problems faced by People:
• Problems of malnourishment and sanitation.
• Illiteracy and unemployment lack of basic infrastructure like colleges, hospitals, sanitation,
etc.
• Power is one of the significant issues.
• Electricity troubles everyone here.
• Lack of drinkable water.
We show that during the visit the recently growing crop is lokman wheat (gehun).it grown
in starting winter season and cut during the ending of Indian festival holi. The lokman
gehun is mainly used for eating purpose.
.Fields of Gold Wheat(Lokwan) is of the highest quality of whole wheat grains. They are
popularly known as 'Golden Grains', with thick, short and heavy grains. Lokwan is highly
nutritious – with umpteen vitamins, minerals, protein and fiber.
These wheat grains are harder in comparison to the other varieties. Lokwan is
widely cultivated in regions across Madhya Pradesh, Southern Gujarat,
Rajasthan, and Maharashtra. Deshpande says, “It has a higher gluten content
which makes it easier to roll out larger and thinner chapatis. It is highly
suitable for making puranpolis and stuffed or plain parathas and has a
relatively better chance of yielding famers a better crop.”
• Cauliflower:
A popular vegetable of the cabbage family. Seeds are first sown in seedbeds or
seedling trays under shade. Healthy seedlings are later transplanted on raised beds
after 30-35 days of sowing. Plants need cool climate & full sunlight to form big
cauliflower heads. 85-90 days after transplantation, ‘cauliflower curd’ should be ready
to harvest. Cauliflower may have the trouble of ‘bolting’ (Early flowering, no curd),
or ‘Buttoning (small non-edible heads) if conditions are unfavorable. Good seed,
proper season, the cool, moist atmosphere around the vegetable is a must.
These non-pungent varieties of chili known locally as Simla Mirch are successfully
grown in Indian plains in winter. Plants are transplanted on raised beds four weeks
after seed sowing in seedling trays. Plants require full sunlight; however, production
is much higher when grown under green shade net house or poly-house. Plants are
delicate and susceptible to diseases. Harvesting can begin 70-80 days after seed
sowing.
• Spinach (Palak):
A leafy vegetable popular for its nutritive value, easy to grow & ready availability. It does
well in a cool climate, full sunlight as well as partial shade (3-4 hours). Seed are sown directly
in raised beds. Harvesting of greens can be done within 30 days of seed sowing. Only 3 gm
seeds are required per 100 sq. ft. area.
• . Carrot:
It is one of the most popular rooting vegetables. Several varieties are differing in color,
texture, shape & length of a carrot. Seeds are sown directly on raised beds or ridged beds.
Edible roots can be harvested in 80-100 days of seed sowing depending on variety. Soil
should be loosened about one-and-a-half times the expected length of the carrot. Break the
soil fine to avoid any obstruction to root.
• Green Peas:
Peas belong to the same family as the beans. Green pea plants are delicate as they hate hot &
humid climate and thrive better in cold & dry weather. Seeds are sown directly on raised beds.
The green pea plant is climber & requires the support of the trellis. Harvesting of pods can
begin 80-90 days after passed sowing. Peas are fond of phosphorus and calcium. About 50 gm
seeds are needed per 100 sq. ft. area.
The basic resources for agriculture are sunlight, soil and water, besides the seeds and animal
breeds, and human Endeavour. Another important input is the agro technique. Agricultural
production is adversely affected if any of these factors is limited, or disturbed. Obviously,
scientific study enables technological innovations to manipulate these factors to maximise
production. Increasingly nowadays, application of science and technology also involves
preventing or at least minimising wasteful use of precious resources
1. Soil:
2. Water:
India, situated in the monsoon belt of south-east Asia, is even now dependent to a large extent,
on rains for its agriculture. Rainfall is unevenly distributed, and in some years the monsoon
fails, resulting in drought. It is a measure of the resilience injected into our agriculture by S&T
inputs that we are not so severely affected by droughts now as in the past.
The geographic situation of the country forces us to learn to cope with inconsistent monsoons.
The average annual rainfall we receive is about 370 million hectare-metres of which about 80
million hectare-metres of water seeps into the soil. Half of this remains in the top soil and helps
plant growth; the rest goes further down to constitute groundwater. However, it must be noted
that saline groundwater is not useful for irrigation, so useful groundwater, according to recent
reports, has depleted alarmingly.
3. Seeds:
There was a time when you could get certain vegetables in certain seasons only. Not now: these
days you get cabbages and cauliflowers practically the whole year through. By genetic
manipulations, scientists have brought about change in the genetic architecture of plants (such
as dwarf and bushy) and in the development rhythms of plants (for example when the plant
flowers) so that they are no longer “season bound” but “period fixed”. These new varieties can
be fitted in rotation with other crops, or the simultaneous cultivation of crops can increase
production and productivity.
Fertiliser Use:
Certain elements are essential for plants. The criteria for essentiality are
(i) the element must be directly involved in the nutrition of a plant; (ii) the life cycle of a
plant cannot be complete without the element; (iii) the element cannot be replaced by any
other element.
Macroelements are those required in amounts of at least one mg per gm of dry matter.
Balanced Use:
Decontrol and consequent price rise resulted in reduced consumption of phosphatic and potassic
fertilisers and deterio-ration in the NPK use ratio to 9.5:3.2:1 in 1992-93. With the enhancement
of the rates of concession and removal of some other constraints, consumption of phosphatic and
potassic fertilisers has increased signifi-cantly.
Vision
Solution Domain
There are some possible solutions for the above-mentioned problems. The solutions include,
filing a complaint regarding the electricity shortage to the CM of the state
. The villagers should practice rainwater harvesting. This would help them save water for
future use. They should also dig wells where the groundwater level is high. They should
avoid wastage of water.
The Sarpanch of the village should ask the high authorities to improve the network
connectivity of the village. This way the people would be able to connect with the outside
world. Also, the business of the people would flourish.
The youngsters should be trained to use the latest technology so that they come up with new
ideas and innovations to make the lives of the people easier.
