Rural Planning & Management

The multi disciplinary Post Graduate planning programme in Rural Planning and Management, within a broad Urban and Regional Planning framework, proposes to cover Planning, Design, Project Development, Financing, Implementation and Management aspects of rural development. While the Water, Agriculture, Housing, Natural Resource Management, Roads and Transport are emphasized, students have the option to specialize in other rural components such as Agriculture Management, Rural Cooperative, Development Communications as well as Social Development.

Rural Planning and Management needs a multi-disciplinary approach focusing on spatial, social, economic and environmental issues related to human habitat in rural and regional contexts. Rural planning coverage will ranges from policy perspectives for planning and management of rural areas and preparation of action plans at the micro level. The Main aim of the programme is to integrate various issues to develop comprehensive strategies for rural planning and management.
