What are Rural Immersion Programs in MIT-WPU?

Rural Immersion Projects are designed to give an exposure to students about the environment and problems of the rural landscape and how modern technology and management concepts can be applied to improvise the rural society’s living condition. Students work on water conservation and storage, irrigation channels optimization, farm equipment, organic fertilizers, waste recycling, composting, solar power generation and similar applications for the upliftment of rural landscape. There is an emphasis on Social Immersion Activities that reinforce a students’ curricular learning with real-life learning by engaging with the society under different situations. Intense societal engagement enables a student to have a broader perspective of the problems faced by different sections of the society and how his learning can be applied to develop innovative solutions that have a wider impact. It’s meant for bridging the gap between Rural and Urban India i.e. connecting ‘India’ with ‘Bharat’.
