Rural Development and Research
Rural Development and Research

750 million people in India work in the agricultural sector. Hence, our leaders and executives need to understand Micro Credit, Rain Water Harvesting (RWH), Agro industry, Millennium Development Goals (MDG) and the likes of these concepts in the agrarian economies. IAME wants to make sure that the growth impulses (GDP growth) are felt in the rural pulse. It therefore sets afoot a program for specialization in rural development and research. We have adopted a village near IAME for our rural program.

Environmental Management

Apart from sensitizing its graduates to the rural markets and economies, IAME’s curriculum also focuses on the mainstream environment management topics relevant both to the urban and rural contexts. Under these you will learn about Carbon credit, Global warming, Environmental overdraft, New and Renewable energy i.e. bio-power, wind power and solar power. Under this we do take activities like swatch Bharat, Self employment and rural up liftment programs.
