TECHNICAL PAPER PRESENTATION

“Technology is a collection of tools including machinery, modifications, arrangements and procedures used and applied by humans for practical purposes.”
This definition provides us with a concise yet apt description of what technology is and what technology should be.
‘But do we have the same perception about technology?’
Perhaps ‘Yes’, perhaps ‘NO……’

In today’s modern times, the common perspective towards technology comprises of gadgets, wireless internet, home appliances, automobiles and new age infrastructure. But this new age definition of technology is highly industrialised, urbanised and commercialised, uses precious non-renewable energy sources and causes huge environmental pollution. Thrusting this technology in the name of rural development, on environmentally pure rural areas, is an unforgivable sin. 

Human civilisation has evolved and developed many indigenous technologies to ease its labour, and improve its livelihood. All the technologies were developed using locally available resources and creating no pollution. These technologies are still practiced in deep rural pockets, but are slowly being killed by modern technology.
It is time that we save our rural areas by reviving and popularising these rural technologies, and improvising them for a bigger impact.
Find out such rural technologies that are created from local resources, and are environment friendly, and suggest, how they can be implemented in a bigger scale, for wider rural development.
