Business Strategies for Rural India
Indian economy has well managed to decouple itself from the international financial fiasco due to its regulatory environment and substantial domestic market. The current global meltdown has clearly spelt out the advantages and need of domestic market in today’s globalized world. The rural population of the country constitutes a substantial portion of this market and promises a good growth opportunity as well.
Rural India, home to about 780 million people (12% of the world population and 74% Indian households), is not just witnessing an increase in its income but also in consumption and production. The governments’ focus on development of rural India is evident from the fact that budget for Rural Development has been increased four folds, from eighth plan to tenth plan.
Despite proven past success in public and private efforts, the prospect for more creative solutions towards economic integration and development do exist. IIML intends to organize a confluence of corporate and academic stalwarts to visualize strategies for creating value from rural opportunities. The congregation will also deliberate upon exterminating disparity at grass root level through these strategies.
