About Society for Technology and Development

The Society for Technology and Development underscores the importance of rural industrialization in India, given the country's persistent rural population, projected to remain above 50% by 2050. This demographic trend necessitates the creation of non-farm jobs in rural areas, especially with agricultural employment declining and urban-industrial sectors. Utilizing science and technology (S&T) inputs, the organization aims to bolster the underdeveloped manufacturing sector and enhance skills among small farmers, artisans, and agricultural workers. Women, who possess valuable indigenous knowledge, are particularly targeted for skill development. With over three decades of operational experience, the organization has earned recognition as a Core Support Group under the DST's SEED Division, championing the Technological Advancement for Rural Areas (TARA) initiative.
