In rural extensiveness we discover a 3-Tier structure of econ. activity

A Rural Economic Zone is a geographic region with

About 50,000 people constituted into a cluster of gram panchayats

A radius of 15 (plus or minus five) kilometres so that an Advanced Facility at the centre could be accessed easily.

A base of agricultural produce and / or ethnic skills or economic opportunities arising from special locations / occasions.

Possibilities of organising production infrastructure in a geographically defined hierarchical manner – namely House Level Activity (HLA), Village Level Activity (VLA) and Zonal Level Activity.

Contd ….

Possibility of skill resources existing organized at the above levels – Self Help Group at hamlet level, specialized groups/entrepreneurs at village cluster level and advanced skills at the zonal head quarters.

Possibilities of creating a Nodal Centre in the form of a Micro Industrial Cluster (MIC) along with facilities like energy backup unit, raw material supply chain / godowns, advanced facilities like packaging, quality control, training, design and plan support, marketing support, transportation besides environmentally mandatory structures like effluent treatment plants.

A governance structure involving the stake holders and having committees for planning, environmental monitoring, ensuring social connectivity.
