About Center for
Rural Development and Technology

IIT Indore is the premier technology institute in Central India and is located in Indore, Madhya Pradesh. Located in a historically backward state (as per HDI index and other government parameters), the institute has undertaken various activities during a decade of its establishment to support and facilitate the improvement of the various indices. Different research projects across various disciplines have focused on the challenges and problems of a largely rural population and worked with agencies to develop solutions to improve people’s quality of living. Apart from adopting two villages located adjacent to the institute, research projects in sustainability, water, sanitation, solid waste management, right to education, Governance have addressed some major issues with some success. Additionally, student groups such as Avana have collaborated with Government projects as Unnat Bharat Abhiyan (UBA) to develop innovative directions and strategies. The institute has now established the Centre for Rural Development and Technology (CRDT) to harness and coalesce all the efforts mentioned above with specific aims and objectives. Read More…
