The aim of the program is to bridge the gap between rural and urban communities. It tries to identify the institutional voids in the villages and strives to bring in relevant information from various sources for making the day-to-day life and workflow of the villagers easier. This year, over there, the trainers will conduct several sessions that would spread awareness to all communities at large about how the government works and how they can benefit from the plans and programs initiated by them.
The trainers deliver their content in an engaging manner through visual aid and discussion for the impactful learning of the trainees. In this program, the students will evaluate the role that media can play in rural areas. This study is intended to help budding rural managers draw the results of research principles which can serve as guides to more effective program designs.
This program is a part of a course on Development Training taught by Dr. S. Peppin (Dean, XSRM); it will majorly focus on how important Public Relations (PR) is and how they can be improved. The trainees will be made aware of several tools used in PR and the role it plays in their lives.
