National Institute of Rural Development-Hyderabad

  Today, there are many projects for village development at the government level itself. Besides, many jobs need to be created by reviving traditional industries and developing them on an industrial scale. Rural industrial enterprises also need to develop new technologies. The Industrial Departments of the Central and State Governments are moving in this direction and implementing various schemes. There are also several well-functioning non-governmental organizations and research institutes working in the field of agriculture. This opens up many opportunities in the field of technology and management. Rural Development Studies provides an opportunity for young people with a commitment to the community and hardworking people to harness their talents for rural rehabilitation.   This is where you can learn about the National Institute of Rural Development courses in Rajendra Nagar, Hyderabad under the Central Government and the opportunities offered by the Rural Technology Park here.
