Rural Innovations is a company that works in rural villages with farmers to bring about social change. Using innovative techniques for irrigation, sowing seeds and harvesting, we increase productivity and the savings are passed on to the farmers and the investors in the company.

No, Rural Innovations is a business enterprise that is seeking a profit for its investments in the rural villages through its businesses. Our idea sounds very much like that of a charitable institution's but we operate solely to make profits.

Some of the major reasons why the tribal people of India haven’t advanced with the rest of the country are high levels of illiteracy, inadequate or non-existent health care facilities and unemployment. Our contention is that the efficiency gains from the running of a successful business will do for the local economies what 1.3 trillion charity dollars across six decades have failed to do; bring growth to the economy.

Today in the rural villages in India, agriculture is practiced using outdated methods and tools. Our company will bring in the needed resources to equip and educate the farmers on the innovations that have revolutionized the agricultural industry around the world. Our profits will be made by buying and selling the finished agricultural products.

No, Rural Innovations is not an agriculture company. We are also into food processing and community development. Agriculture is an intricate part of the lives of the tribal people in India. Therefore, agriculture is a part of our solution for the region as well.

We will use some of the agricultural products that we buy from the farmers to produce breakfast health bars and cereals. Our employees will be people from the rural villages who are interested in farming or do not have the land to cultivate. These health bars and cereals will be sold in the cities.

In the past decade, there has been a shift in the lifestyle and demographics of the average Indian worker. Today, a lot of youngsters go to school and work while quite a few adults have late night and early morning work-shifts. These changes have resulted in the workers and young adults missing out on the essential nutrients that a traditional breakfast provides. Our health bars will fill in the gap by providing a tasty snack that will replenish the energy and nutrients needed to work increase efficiency at the workplace and tide the hunger over till the workers get a chance to have a traditional meal when they get home.
