BUSINESS PLAN  PRESENTATION

Rural communities practice lots of rituals that have some scientific background. Many rituals are also meant to bind communities for a common cause or for common good. These practices are self-sufficient and sustainable, as they are supported by local contribution, without depending on any outside support.
A good example of such practice is ‘Grain Banks’ at Places of Worship, that fill by offerings from locals, and feed the poor and homeless everyday.
Can such practices be implemented on a larger scale as a Business model, that can employ some, and feed many?
All rural technologies and practices are highly effective, environment friendly, highly efficient and cost effective, and are used to serve many needs of rural folk. Can such technologies and practices be converted into Business models, that can be implemented at a bigger level, to employ many rural people?
Put your thoughts together and present your Business plan or model at PEHAL 2015 and help create a sustainable and economic way utilising different rural technologies and practices for rural development.
