dc.description.abstract |
Mahatma Gandhi said that the future of India lay in its villages. This has been
proven with the recent outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic and the
surfacing predicament of our urban centers.
Developed on the Industrialization model, the current state of the metropolis is
of rampant overcrowding, high rates of unemployment, inadequate
infrastructure, and resources to cater to the growing population. 40% of each
city’s strength composes of the migrant population, demonstrated through the
migrant crisis, a direct repercussion of COVID 19.
This paper explores the ideology of how rural development can act as a tactic
to counter the high rates of rural-urban migration. It establishes the need for
rural push, as India is predominantly an agrarian economy, with the vast
disparity between the urban and rural centers due to its urban bias. It seeks to
define development in holistic terms. It studies the models of ‘cluster’ as
conceptualized by V.K.R.V. Rao, and detailed by Architect Charles Correa
through his book, The New Landscape.
The paper reexamines the theory of cluster development through existing
models proposed by the government of India. Namely, PURA (Provision of
Urban Amenities in Rural Areas), DRI (Deendayal Research Institute), and
Rurban under Shyama Prasad Mukharjee Rurban Mission. It analyses the
models, their strengths, weaknesses, and reasons for their failure and success
to derive parameters for the ideation of an archetype model. A new model of
rural development that talks of the simultaneous development of existing
adjacent villages, by the introduction of set unique functions, that may turn
into self-sustaining clusters or agglomerations in the future, which could serve
as the next step for Indian village development based on the cluster ideology. |
