Mahatma Gandhi, in his famous speech during the Lahore session of the Congress in 1929, said, “India lives in her villages.” It is relevant even today after eight decades progress and an astonishing invasion of technology. Technological progress and the tremendous development of the IT sector often blind many of us to the toils of the rural tiller who brings our daily lunch. No effort for national development can ignore the villages; they determine the destiny of the country. Rural development is no more something that emerges from the common sense of a select few; it is the result of organized work involving the techniques of modern management. This emphasizes the need of a broad-based research in the field of rural management also reflecting in management education. This book is an attempt in that direction. I sincerely hope that this book will provide insights into the subject to faculty members, researchers and students from the management institutes, consultants, practicing managers from industry and government officers.

1.1 Introduction: Brain is the best gift of God to humanity. It makes him supreme among all other creatures of earth. A child’s brain although a natural gift, needs to be shaped and well directed for living an agreeable, calm and contingent life. The practice which carries out this reward is what we mark as education. Education trends and carves him for humanity. There are usually two characteristics of human life: one is natural or biological and the other one is socio- cultural or spiritual. Man envisaged in terms of his biological subsistence alone is no better than an animal. His biological subsistence is secured through food, shelter and reproduction. But human life can never be limited to its biological existence alone. Man’s life can only be overvalued by education and it is only the cultural or social feature of human life which specifies his ultimate place and thus composes the splendid work of Almighty creator.
