PAPER-XIV: FIELD WORK PROJECT REPORT
Maximum Marks: 100
Course Objectives:
The purpose is to directly acquaint the students with the rural environment,
development, village reconstruction and allied problems; to create awareness
among people about these issues and initiate and encourage people’s

Pedagogy of the Course Work
Preparation of Field Project Report
In part fulfilment of the syllabus requirements for M.A.II students, a neighbouring
village ‘SAKETRI’ had been selected for first hand on the spot study. Later on, the
adjoining village MAHADEV PURA was also included in it for promotion of literacy.
The students accompanied by one or two teachers of the department have to visit the
village according to the schedule prepared by the Department. Each student is assigned a
specific problem for empirical study. The main issues which concern rural development and
environment are health and hygiene of the inhabitants, adult literacy, problem of poverty
and unemployment, Gram Panchayat elections and voting behaviour, role of Gram Sabha to
check the proper functioning of the Gram Panchayat, patterns of rural leadership, cottage
industries and other handicraft, occupational distribution, the problem of addictions of
various kinds, shortage of drinking water, and promotion of agriculture through improved
techniques and inputs etc.
On the basis of repeated visits to the village, the students prepare and submit a
report for evaluation. The private candidates are permitted to complete their reports at their
respective places with the permission of the Department and they have to submit the reports
to the Department for evaluation.
