QUESTION: • single village - not viable economicallly • global village - not viable ecologically • In between ? - R E Z Questions: solid working base: R A Z + R C Z AGRINDUS Structures : 3 – Tier Technology Community scaling of Tech Codes of co-existence : Global Swadeshi
R E Z = R A Z + R C Z Rural Econ. Zone = Rural Agri Zone + Rural Craft Zone
Presentation showing transport and industries as major causes for global warming
ENTROPY – To measure Planet’s Health Measure of disorder Urbanisation - creation of concrete jungle (cement making emits carbon) Dismantling rural habitat (Agil + Empl.) Packing, Pollution Transportation Mindless Global Trade; Bad Prodn. Tech. Minimise Entropy
INFO-ERA FRAMEWORK FOR RURAL ECONOMY • Core Urban Area – is challenged by IT • Urban : intensive Rural : extensive • In rural extensiveness we discover a 3-Tier structure of econ. activity
BROAD DEFINITION OF REZ • A Rural Economic Zone is a geographic region with • About 50,000 people constituted into a cluster of gram panchayats • A radius of 15 (plus or minus five) kilometres so that an Advanced Facility at the centre could be accessed easily. • A base of agricultural produce and / or ethnic skills or economic opportunities arising from special locations / occasions. • Possibilities of organising production infrastructure in a geographically defined hierarchical manner – namely House Level Activity (HLA), Village Level Activity (VLA) and Zonal Level Activity.
Contd …. • Possibility of skill resources existing organized at the above levels – Self Help Group at hamlet level, specialized groups/entrepreneurs at village cluster level and advanced skills at the zonal head quarters. • Possibilities of creating a Nodal Centre in the form of a Micro Industrial Cluster (MIC) along with facilities like energy backup unit, raw material supply chain / godowns, advanced facilities like packaging, quality control, training, design and plan support, marketing support, transportation besides environmentally mandatory structures like effluent treatment plants. • A governance structure involving the stake holders and having committees for planning, environmental monitoring, ensuring social connectivity.
Community Scaling of Technology • Energy alternatives • ‘Intelligence’ supplementation • Employment assurance through MAN-MACHINE SYSTEM DESIGN
GLOBAL SWADESHI a + b + c = 100 100 + 0 + 0 fully self reliant 0 + 0 + 100 fully export 50 + 25 + 25 (for example) safe
ORGANISATIONAL ASPECT Three REZs in a region sharing a Regional Technology Centre.
Services in the Nodal Centre of REZ • Storage Services • Consultation Services • Testing and Quality Guidance • Information Services, e-link • Bank • Transport and Freight Services • Craft support service Centre • Major Backup Facilities: • Energy Back up • Effluent Treatment • People’s Committees. • Agro Facilitation Complex : • Seed, food • Demonstration forms • Advanced facilities (tissue culture........) • Mini Ind. complex & support services • Micro Industrial Complex • Special Advanced Facilities Centre • Higher Level Assembly Industries • Repair Services • Packaging • Training Centre
Organisational Innovations • Mini Ind. Cluster • Decentralised Centralised
Activities planned for a 20 village cluster a) Food related: 1. Rice mills .... 8 2. Padddy processing units .... 60 3. Tur Daal (Yelloow pulses) mill .... 8 4. Other type of Daal mills .... 1 5. Oil mill .... 8 6. Bakery items .... 3 7. Confectionery products ... 1 8. Flour mill .... 4 9. Miscellaneous (e.g. pickles, papad, masalas etc) 10. Milk processing .... 6 11. Tea packaging / coffee processing .... 2 12. Iodized salt .... 1 13. Vegetables .... 2 b) Construction materials: 1. Brick manufacturing units (VSBK) .... 1 2. Painting materials .... 1 3. Plastic recycling (road repairing materials) ... 1 4. Tiles .... 1 5. Mud blocks .... 3 6. Precast materials / cement water tanks .... 2
OTHER EXAMPLES • OTOP Model of Thailand • RBH of India • In general the Cluster Development Experiment
IMPERATIVES • Defining REZ (‘Mandal’) • Connectivities • Innovation, Quality, Productivity • Typology based HRD Knowledge Connectivity • Gramswaraj’s 29 subjects • Organised sector, SEZ Vs Panchayats
Needed : Social Entrepreneurs
