On the occasion of India’s 80th Independence Day, Prof. Ajay Kumar Sood, Principal Scientific Adviser to the Government of India, launched the RSVC-AMRIT Platform. The launch was attended by Dr Shaji Krishnan, Chairman, NABARD. The Accelerated Medium for Rural Innovations and Technologies (AMRIT) Platform, developed by NABARD - National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development, will serve as the digital backbone of the RuTAGe Smart Village Centre (RSVC) ecosystem. It will bring together technology developers, academic and research institutions, implementation partners, government agencies, CSR organisations and rural communities on a common platform. The platform will support the validation, acceleration and deployment of technologies, while enabling the monitoring and impact assessment of RSVCs. By strengthening collaboration among stakeholders, it will help accelerate the adoption of locally relevant technologies and innovations across rural India. NABARD will also share the broad outlines of its scheme to support the establishment of RuTAGe Smart Village Centres (RSVCs), further strengthening the technology-community connection for rural transformation.
