Media Interaction on Impending Rural Crisis

Raipur Press Club, Raipur, Chhattisgarh Saturday, April 11, 2015, 11 a.m. National growth needs to be supported by a booming rural economy. Yet, all is not upbeat in rural India. A dip in wages, declining investments in rural schemes and agriculture, extreme weather events and changing rainfall patterns along with a host of other factors combine to indicate an impending rural crisis. We invite you to join Centre for Science and Environment experts in a discussion at the Raipur Press Club. Registration is on the spot and free.

WORK OVERVIEW

Centre for Science and Environment’s bonds with media – journalists, news and feature publications, media houses etc – go back almost to the days of its infancy. CSE’s founder-director, the late Anil Agarwal, himself a journalist, well appreciated the role that media could play in carrying CSE’s voice and message to the world outside. From that appreciation has emerged an enduring relationship over the years, sustained by a belief and understanding that media is one of the key ‘multiplier’ communities which support CSE’s work. We believe that the mass media can help in analysing the linkages between environment and development, spark debates on crucial issues, and lead to positive change.
