| Article Name : | | | RURAL SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND SELF RELIANT TECHNOLOGY APPLICATION: WOMEN EMPOWERMENT PERSPECTIVE | | Author Name : | | | Sadananda Sahoo | | Publisher : | | | Ashok Yakkaldevi | | Article Series No. : | | | GRT-6355 | | Article URL : | |  | Author Profile View PDF In browser | | Abstract : | | | Technology enables rural people and local communities to become self reliant. Self reliant technology can promote participation of the people which in particular can benefit the economy and society in many ways. Any technology strategy should be need-based, people-centered, eco-friendly and culture-specific. In rural areas, choice and role of appropriate technology in relation to women and development became crucial in building up local capacity to devise solutions to tackle the identified problems to improve their quality of life. While focusing on overall rural development through technological intervention, one has to ensure that the ultimate goal is to bring about sustainable development, which should be linked to the carrying capacity based developmental planning by analyzing the underlying co-relationship between poverty, gender and environment. | | Keywords : | | - Sustainable development,Women empowerment,Technology,Rural development and Rural women.,
