Abstract:
About the Book: Managing rural projects is a challenging task, which requires patience, skill, knowledge, social belongingness with rural community and managerial attribute to deliver good results. We have seen many rural development programmes either converted, merged or even having been finished half-heartedly. Need for literature on management of rural projects has been felt by students, practitioners and professionals working in rural projects. This book will help in fulfilling the knowledge-based requirements in project planning, implementation, monitoring, evaluation and many other exercises. This book will be helpful for students of management, rural management and other disciplines, and working professionals in voluntary sector.
