The Union Budget 2016-17 focuses on rural economy with 110 % hike for agriculture sector. Several key reform measures with potential to change the game have been announced. Can these reforms lead us to a rural revolution? R&M Highlights analyses the Budget with reference to its implications on rural economy

The consecutive deficient monsoon which resulted into crop failures in many parts of the country, global slowdown in the manufacturing sector, drop in crop price realisation, decrease in public sector investment, inefficient farm credit and crop insurance mechanism have collectively squashed the tractor industry in India. R&M Highlights scans the factors behind the slowdown of the tractor industry and the way forward.

Farm production has jumped multi-fold since independence. However, its benefits have hardly reached the India’s largest community – The Farmers. Since 1995, the distress has forced more than 300,000 farmers to commit suicide across the country. R&M highlights digs out what went wrong from policymaking to plans implementation and is farmers’ plight a result of collective misdeeds of our policymakers?

India is full of creativity and innovative talent at the grassroots level. Innovation is the key
to development. Innovators can convert knowledge into social good and economic wealth.
R&M highlights the engagement of some brilliant rural innovators with society to
improve the quality of life at local level.

The transformed rural scenario in India demands marketers to adopt different strategy keeping in mind the evolving audience and their changing demographics. This is the right time for them to make bold moves – and to widen the gap between them and their competition.

With the increasing foodgrains production, the warehousing has become a big challenge for the country. Now, scientific processes and technology innovations have shown a new direction in foodgrains storage and supply chain. It is reducing the post-harvest losses and providing better options to the farmers. R&M highlights the changing dynamics of the warehousing sector.

Provisional data of Socio-Economic and Caste Census (SECC) 2011 for Rural India was released recently and the exercise aims to defeat poverty with better planning.

Rural India led a record 35 percent surge over a year in mobile phone and computer-based transactions with the government and that clearly indicates huge  demand and future potential of m-governance in the hinterland. 

Rural Economy:  Monsoon Mania 

Monsoon plays crucial role in Indian agriculture which employs half of the rural population. Vagaries of Monsoon adversely affect the sector. The increase in non-farm jobs in rural India has now changed the dynamics of rural economy. R&M analyses the impact of Monsoon this year on agriculture with reference to rural economy.

Small Cities, Big Opportunity: Consumer Durables Boom in Rural India: The consumer durables market in rural India is expected to witness steady growth in the coming years, provided the three major bottlenecks – lack of infrastructure, low distribution and poor availability of finance – are taken care of. 

On the sloppy land of Odisha’s Rayagada district, households once depended on migration, shifting cultivation pattern, and welfare schemes. CHES, Bhubaneswar of ICAR’s IIHR, introduced technological interventions to plant mango; it has helped improve the lives of tribal farmers in the region.

In just 50 years a water-rich nation has turned out to be a water-stressed one. India’s per capita water availability has reached below the critical mark of 1,000 cubic metres. And with 80 percent of the villages overdrawing groundwater, the country is close to deplete its reserves. What has gone wrong?

Rural India presents an opportunity of potentially adding USD 1.8 trillion to the Indian economy. The sector, on many important parameters, is doing much better than urban and is rapidly turning into a preferred destination for many big brands. However, marketers should not attempt to mould the rural population to urbanize senselessly and without directions. Rural population has its own strengths, roots and deliverables that will enable these people to carve out a parallel place alongside their urban partners.

In this issue of Rural & Marketing, we analyse how brand ambassadors help marketers in achieving their sales  target in India's rural.
