Interdisciplinary field training research and rural development programme.

The programme outlined is an interdisciplinary activity involving students working as groups in villages. It runs through the educational programme in summer blocks of 6 weeks each. It blends medical education with rural development and it is hoped to develop in students team-work and community orientation as well as research skills. The purpose of the communication is to exchange ideas in this field and hopefully receive some comments and views from readers and at the same time pave the way for support, financial or otherwise.

Toward a synergism of rural development and community psychology.

It is a common experience that all social intervention programs planned and executed for social amelioration have not met with success. The major thesis of this article is that parallel growth of two subfields: rural development and community psychology, may not be coincidental, and the recent trends in Indian psychology readily lead themselves to a union between the two. The attempts to intervene in two different communities (heterogeneous and homogeneous) have proved an eye-opener for future interventions.

Rural development strategies and their health and nutrition-mediated effects on fertility: a review of the literature.

In this review of literature sources from several relevant disciplines, the author attempts to examine the support for theoretical linkages between rural development strategies, on the one hand, and the possible effects of these strategies on fertility rates. Nutrition and health status of women and children are interposed as intermediate effects. Development strategies are classified according to their objectives, whether to promote community participation, to increase agricultural production and productivity, to extend services to populations or, finally, to raise income. In terms of possible fertility outcomes, strategies emphasizing extension of services, especially health and nutrition services, are viewed as most effective. Community participation is essential but not sufficient for the process. Increasing agricultural production and productivity appears to depend for its effectiveness on how equitably benefits are distributed, whether food production is increased as part of the program, and whether health, nutrition and family planning are specific components. Raising income, finally, is effective only if food and services are equitably distributed.

Migration to the United States and Mexican rural development: a case study.

An analysis of the impact of migration to the United States on the sending community and on the labor market in the receiving country is presented based on a case study of Las Animas, Mexico. "As the community becomes increasingly involved in migration, tendencies can be identified regarding changing migration patterns, class differentiation among villagers, impact of migration on village economy, and the changing role of Mexican workers in California labor markets. Results indicate the importance of social networks in determining the outcome of migration; while migration is individually rational, it is a factor of stagnation for village economy, and it helps reproduce segmented California labor markets."
