SLS RURAL INTERNSHIP
2016 - 17
big area of learning for most students when it comes to Agriculture and they were
exposed to that during their interaction with farmers
Infrastructure
Lack of technical know-how and cutting edge knowledge has sustained a culture
of adaptation and innovation in the Indian countryside for long. This is visible in
the way roof tops are constructed with ecological advantage, and use of kuccha
roads for transit. Students working in this area were encouraged to develop a
keen sense of inquiry and learn from people working on the ground.
Sustainable Living
While this area is all pervasive throughout the entire internship, students made
key observations from rural households. There is plenty to learn from sub areas
like use of cook ware, to adaptations to harsh winter and summer that local
people specially women make use of which enriched the students.
