Rural Immersion Program

Rural:-
Rural means relating to the characteristics of the country or country side rather than
the town. Where there is facilities of the government are not available, infrastructural
facilities are poor and the growth of the region is very poor.

Sparsely populated area outside the limits of a city or designated commercial,

industrial or residential centre, these rural areas are characterized by the farms, vegetation,
and open spaces. Agriculture areas are commonly rural, though so are others such as forests.

Rural Immersion:-
Rural Immersion into virtual the truth is a view of being physically present in non-
physical world. The observation is made by encompassing the client of the Virtual frame
work in pictures, sound or other things that gives a fascinating aggregate environment.

The 3 day rural immersion program at “Molakaladinne” village was a thoroughly

inspirational experience that shook down the walls of usual disregard towards the increasing
plight of Indian Villages. The premises couldn’t have been more involving and direct than
talking to the villagers ourselves and deducing the exact standards of facilities and the
penetration of rural policies set by the government. The objective was not just to understand
but educate in whichever possible fashion we could with regards to the time constraints.

When there are concerns of the larger kind, language ceases to be a barrier. Tapping
their discontent was not an easy job as we were fairly unfamiliar to them and breaking down
the ice was always one of the fundamental steps in interactions. The villagers pretty soon
emoted to us and their distress about multiple issues (economic, social and welfare). If the
spread of cell phones can be forgotten for a moment, none of the other more crucial and
relevant privileges (Water, Electricity, wages) were steadily present in either of the villages
we visited.
