Re: [MTC Global] Inadequate focus on rural management : Role of B-schools

Rural Development is seriously neglected over the period of decades just because it doesn't give short term heavy returns in terms of money. But planners did forget that it is more than commodities and it's basic need of existence of  life on earth. It should have been given highest priority for sincere farming and not dubious one.
Still we have time. Promote Agricultural - Academia-Corporate collaboration with enough space for real farmers inputs.

Problems and issues are many. Being agricultural economy basically, agriculture is no where. We came across various data and statistics discussed here too, we have identified problems- political, university patterns and focus and so on. We know but issue is what can be done solution part. There are two approaches-
1 identify, analyse problems and suggest probable solutions for others viz. What govt should do? What university should do? What. Other institutions should do?
2 start doing something? As a part of so called intellectual society member its our responsibility to contribute something positive.

Being faculty members we can surely contribute at individual/ group levels just we need to cone out of our comfort zones. Who stops from training, sensitization, field visits, live projects and so on..we do this, we did this and realised change is possible...

China has 350,000 Skill Centres in Rural China to train the rural population and farmers. About 60 million are trained every year.

The productivity f the Chinese farmer is therefore nearly 250% of the Indian Farmer.

China produces nearly 650 million tons of food grains vs 250 million in India; although arable land in India is more!

B-Schools in India are too far from the ground realities f Rural India

80% of Agriculture is in a pathetic state of affairs in India.  Progress in Agri based economy is only to the tune of 20%is only a part of it.

It is high time we understood where the problem lies & the point at which it is stuck . Faculty need to have Passion for the Agro based eco system &  agriculture led economy. If you have the passion, then you will learn. Once you learn, then you can share. If your Faculty is not passionate & do not learn with intensity, the technology transfer will never happen. The Technology absorption from students end is a far cry.

58% of Indians contributing to 14% of GDP is a danger signal. The other 42% working Indians are slogging for 90 hours a week, bearing the total brunt, responsibility & a huge burden of feeding 40 crore Indians. Why should we ?? Why should they ??
Politicians breed it for vote bank. Rural poor & landless are happily drinking & making merry 24 hrs a day? You go any village in India?? Everyone is drunk from the lowest strata to the Sarpanch, any hour? No wonder, our productivity & yield from Agriculture has declined drastically?? NREGS gives them Rs 100 per day & makes them vegetables?  Who is responsible? With all modern gadgets, rural areas are no more rural. Villages are becoming towns. Like this, there are several issues.

Educated Indians are a silent majority who are excellent onlookers? Crazy, Laughable & Alarming???

Firstly, these issues have to be resolved ASAP before we think of Rural management, which will never take off. ??.

India is an agricultural dominated country. Approximately 14.6 % of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of Indian economy comes from Agriculture. It provides employment to 58.2% of the work force. Despite of this fact we have very few Management Institutes like IRMA (Institute of Rural Management Anand) who teach Rural Management as one of the primary domain like HR, Finance, Operations, Marketing, etc.
How B-schools can contribute in this area?  Few B-schools have done experiments in this space. It would be interesting  to listen from them...........
