About IRRAD
IRRAD is an initiative of the S.M. Sehgal Foundation dedicated to
creating a brighter future for India's rural communities. It envisions
rural people
across India motivated and empowered to make their lives more secure
and prosperous. IRRAD designs, tests and replicates scalable
communitybased models for rural development in the areas of water
management, agriculture, sanitation, governance and education. It also
builds capacities
of communities and community-based institutions to enable them to
undertake their own development. These initiatives are transformed
into action
through IRRAD's four centers: Natural Resource Management, Policy,
Governance & Advocacy, Capacity Building and Rural Research. Most of
IRRAD's field work is focused in 206 villages of Mewat (Haryana), one
of the most backward regions in India.
The Rural Research Center (RRC) contributes actively towards
establishing IRRAD as 'Knowledge Institute,' a repository of
knowledge, ideas, and
solutions on rural development that are generated, proven at the
grassroots level and shared with a wide range of stakeholders. The
Center conducts
targeted studies on poverty and livelihood issues, assesses the needs
and impacts of IRRAD's programs, and addresses the research related
requirements of the other centers. It conducts theoretical and
empirical research with the application of appropriate qualitative and
quantitative
methodologies to address issues concerning rural development and
poverty, and disseminates those research studies to influence programs
and
policies. RRC works internally with IRRAD's programs and externally
with researchers, students and rural community at large.
