"Agriculture Development is nothing but Rural Development.."

Department History:

Late Shri Mahadevappa Rampure founder president of H.K.E. Society was a great visionary and the statesman, who wanted to bring social transformation through education in this backward region. Therefore he started revolution in the field of education through by opening Medical, Technical, Science, Humanities colleges in this region. Dr B G javali the former President of our society has started our college i.e “Smt Chinnamma Basappa Patil Arts and Commerce College” in the year 1983 with the help of local donors.

Rural Development has been receiving increasing attention of the government across the world. In the Indian context, India is primarily rural in character. Development means mostly Rural Development. Since about two third of population still lives and seeks employment in rural areas and contribute significantly to the development of country. Yet living conditions in rural areas have not improved significantly over the years. Hence Rural Development assumes special significance today.

Rural development subject was started in the year 1983 as one the optional subject for B.A. students. By the year 1984 most of the agriculture lands were irrigated by Upper Mullamari (Bhogavati ) Project. But majority of the people were illiterate, ignorant, socially, economically and politically backward. To bring social transformation through education the college as well as the rural development Dept. is working together to achieve this task. The department has also a broader vision of creating educated, enlightened and empowered rural students capable in solving all the challenges of modern world and also brings self confidence among them.

Today this this subject has acquired its own importance and so the university grants commission and K.P.S.C has made it possible for the young students to take Rural Development as an optional subject.

Achievements And Placements

Placement record of the students:

The result of the department is more than 90 percent. The Gulbarga University Kalaburagi is not offering post graduation course in Rural development. Only some of the universities in our nation are offering this course . Their fore only those students who are economically sound enough are going to do post graduation in Rural development . So most of the students are persuing higher education in different courses like History, Pol science, master of social work, Master of computer application, Bachelor of education, bachelor of physical education etc.

  No formal record exist, but department helps the students in placement and in higher education.
