DoMS-IIT Roorkee
Organizing Umang '07 to Connect NGOs with Upcoming Rural Technologies
On March 18, 2007
The Department of Management
Studies, IIT Roorkee, brings to you Umang '07, a one-day workshop
which aims to bring together the academia and non-government organizations for
the dawn of a better tomorrow.
By providing a common platform,
Umang '07 aims to connect NGOs with rural technologies, and provides them with
an opportunity to understand them, which would facilitate their future
activities.
In this endeavor to bring about a
positive change in society, the institute organized Umang '06, a two-day
national workshop in April 2006, on 'Developing Strategic Framework for NGOs'.
A large number of NGOs including WWF and HARC had participated.
Umang is distinct in a way that
it introduces and attempts to sensitize the students and faculty about the
various causes represented by the NGOs, thus, fostering a relationship. The
resounding success of Umang '06 has encouraged the institute to carry this idea
forward.
A large number of NGOs are
facilitating and catalyzing the process of bringing these technologies to rural
India, in an effort to improve their lives.
Umang '07 aims to provide NGOs an
opportunity to know and understand the latest innovations in Rural Technology,
which would be instrumental in their future endeavors for improving lives in
rural India and bridging the divide between haves and have-nots. These
technologies provide an effective, simpler solution to the every day problems in
rural India, such as in agriculture, healthcare and ICT (information,
communication and technology).
Distinguished speakers will delve
into the concept of Rural Technology, and share their thoughts and experiences.
An exhibition showcasing a broad range of rural technologies would also be
organized. If you have any such technology to showcase that can add value, the
institute welcomes you to write and inform in advance about the same.
The institute requests technology
developers, promoters and NGOs to join hands with them in their endeavor to make
a real difference in lives of rural people.
