Abstract

Rural India faces severe technology deficits as it is struggling to fulfil even the basic infrastructural necessities such as provision of power, water, resilient health care facilities, roads, education system, etc. To cover these gaps, Government of India is actively taking initiatives to bring sophisticated technology for rural development. This is evident from the use of High Yielding Variety (HYV) seeds in agricultural activities, introduction to the concept of organic farming, digitalization of education in primary and secondary schools in rural areas, sophisticated technologies encouraging digital financial transactions, technological skill development for artisans, traders, etc., for enhancing productivity of village and cottage industries, technological upgradation for establishing strong infrastructure at the rural level, etc.This chapter aims to highlight the enabling trends and challenges in providing technology education for rural development in India, especially during the pandemic situation. The purpose of this chapter is to understand the role of public–private partnerships in imparting education about sophisticated technology in rural India, initiatives taken by the Government by introducing various schemes for technology education and encouraging start-ups to invest in technology innovation for rural people to overcome the difficult times.
