GRAM PRAVAS
In pursuance of its objective of rural development, NGB has successfully implemented the Gram Pravas Program. Under this program, NGB has adopted five villages adjoining Jamunipur Campus, and all research scholars pursuing PhD program are required to visit the adopted villages and interact with villagers through village panchayats, with the objective of developing an understanding towards localized problems of rural population, and offer feasible solution. Moreover, NGB provides legal counseling at adopted villages, through legal camps by faculty members of law department, health & family related issues by faculty members of home science department, guidance on government schemes/policies on agriculture, banking/agriculture/farmer loans etc, by faculty members of social work department, promoting education/girl child education by members of education department. Institution stands committed to intervening strongly in the local region by implementing socioeconomic development programmes by way of increasing the current engagements in the coming years.
The purpose of Gram Pravas Program is to make the students aware of the rural culture and values on the one hand. On the other hand, they have to develop sensitivity towards the rural society. Under the Gram Pravas, PhD Research Scholar groups work upon various topics like rural culture and values, education and village, village and awareness, village and sanitation, rural health, agricultural development, government schemes and self-employment, gender awareness and research on environment. They find out the rural problems and work to solve them as far as possible. Gram Pravas Program is one of the best practice programs of the University. Research students prepare their reports in groups and earn marks through oral exams. At present, there is a need to organize programs like Gram Pravas compulsorily in every university of India.
