Living for Rural India : Rajkumar Jha at TEDxNMIMSBangalore

India lives in villages, with most of the people involved in agriculture. Illiteracy, poverty and illness surround them. Urbanization and top down approach on the name of social and developmental programs is farce. The people who moved out of villages and small towns do not look back and contribute to villages. "It hurts" to see their indifferent behavior. Ten days in a year by staying, working and working with them, cake the difference India will progress when its villages will progress.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
