While delivering guest lecture virtually on “Relevance of Needonomics for Atmanirbharta in Rural India’ being organised by Tirupati-based Academy of Grassroots Studies and Research of India (AGRASRI), Prof Goel said that we need to learn from Saemaul Model of rural development and ‘palli palli’ culture of South Korea involving all with only eleven per cent contribution of the government through training and material instead of money in cash to villages.
Elucidating the historical background behind the New Community Movement in South Korea, he said that Korea has been successful in implementing integrated rural community development programmes comprising of top-down and bottom-up approaches that were widely recognised as being at the centre of the development of the rural sector and the overall economic development in the country since the beginning of the 1970s.
