To encourage a discussion on the problems ailing the rural economy, deliberating upon the solutions to those problems and dedicating allegiance to the cause of rural development, MCM DAV College for Women hosted 'Unveiling and Dedication Ceremony' here with Lok Sabha MP Feroze Gandhi being the Chief Guest.
Gandhi presented his views on an alternative approach to mainstream ideas of rural development including promotion of non-conventional education system, impetus to indigenous industry like textile and leather, active citizen participation, political reform, equality of opportunity and skill enhancement.
Highlighting the inefficiencies of the agriculture sector in the areas like storage, transportation, etc., he called for adopting an academic approach to the problems of the sector and increasing the scope of MNREGA for a sustainable future.
