RuralIndia: October 2009
http://villageronthecity.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 30, 2009. Education: Still an Illusion. I once visited a local government school. Can you imagine the chaos I found myself in! There were two three kids washing their 'guruji's' motorbike, there was a another boy who was singing for the 'guruji' while the 'guruji' was snoring in his chair and all the other students were doing something or the other waiting eagerly for the afternoon meal to be served. What is your take? Links to this post. Monday, October 26, 2009. Telecommunication has in...

RuralIndia: February 2010
http://villageronthecity.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 18, 2010. There are different events that take place in a village which can be used for promotional purposes. In the rural marketing class I spoke about the Durga Puja experience. However, the important thing is there are many other events that go unnoticed. I am going to write about a couple of such events. The local football tournaments. In my next article, I will be writing about my experiences in a haat bazaar. (Hope that will be an add-on before the haat visit). Links to this post.

RuralIndia: Second Big Problem: Desperate Borrowing & Exploitative Lending
http://villageronthecity.blogspot.com/2009/10/second-big-problem-desperate-borrowing.html
Tuesday, October 20, 2009. Second Big Problem: Desperate Borrowing and Exploitative Lending. In the last article,we saw that the biggest boon which is also the biggest problem in villages in the concept of satisfaction with what people have. The next biggest problem is desperate borrowing and exploitative lending. Since, the villagers do not get to see the bankers regularly or on a daily basis, it becomes very difficult for them to trust the banks. What do you have to offer or say? Video: Mount Etna erup...

RuralIndia: Poor infrastructure
http://villageronthecity.blogspot.com/2009/10/poor-infrastructure.html
Monday, October 26, 2009. There has been much talk about improvement of rural infrastructure which is yet to materialize. Rural infrastructure is horribly backward and in need for attention and it is a big question that the government needs to answer: What happens to the crores of allocations towards rural infrastructure? The roads are in bad shape. Only the highways and few other roads are metalled, pucca. Roads All the other roads are either ka chha. The time is ripe for public-private partnerships in ...

RuralIndia: Reasons for Backwardness
http://villageronthecity.blogspot.com/2009/10/reasons-for-backwardness.html
Tuesday, October 13, 2009. This week I will be trying to unravel the reasons behind the rural backwardness. The first major weakness which is in fact a strength for rural India to continue to remain rural is the concept of SATISFACTION. Leaves, cashew, madhuca indica. And some forest fruits that are pretty expensive. A few times I have tried putting before them the need to globalize, need for education that goes beyond 10. Entrepreneurial bent is aggressively discouraged. They do not want modernization t...

RuralIndia: A rustic feel
http://villageronthecity.blogspot.com/2010/02/rustic-feel.html
Thursday, February 4, 2010. Going again and again through RUM (Rural Marketing) classes, I have become kind of nostalgic. I vividly remember the first time we moved to the village. Since, I and my siblings have been educated in boarding school, holidays were a treat. And running wildly in the rural empty lanes was something that we boasted of when we returned to school after vacations. I think I am going to do it again now. Well, that's for now. Stay tuned for more of my "Village life". Sea My Sea (Oops!
