August 18th, 2018 

Xavier School of Rural Management (XSRM) will be hosting its annual business conclave, Abhivyakti, on August 19^th, 2018. The conclave aims to provide the students of Rural Management (RM) a comprehensive view on "Rural Business: Impact in Digital Era", which is also the theme for the event.

India's rural market is a powerful economic engine.

With our country rapidly progressing towards becoming a digital nation, we must bridge the gap between rural and urban India. Digital penetration in rural India is slow but definite. Starting from health care initiatives to financial inclusion, to boosting the agrarian economy by developing farmer friendly applications, digital innovations have surely contributed to the process of empowering India by empowering the rural sector. The onset of digital era will bring about a revolutionary change in the rural business sector.
