In view of rapid changes in communication and technology and increasing need of massive trained manpower in rural development, NIRD has established a Distance Education Cell. The Cell is mandated to initiate a number of programmes for capacity building of development personnel of Governmental Organisations, elected representatives and educated youth to function as change managers.
The sustainable rural development is basically the development which meets the need of present generation of rural people without compromising the capacity of future generations to fulfill their own needs. This entails sustained efforts to raise the quality of life of rural people. Huge efforts are being made in India and so also other developing countries to develop their rural areas in order to reduce Urban-Rural divide by creating conducive environment for resource development and utilisation through up -grading knowledge and skills of the people to make the best use of available resources.The cell is expecting to use latest technology for imparting distance training programmes. |
