India is home to 1.47 billion people and is the world’s most populated country. Today about 20% of this population is isolated from the economic mainstream of the country and the world. A holistic model of development of the backward segments of the Indian population is CReNIEO’s guiding vision. Exploitation is possible when a nation’s socio-economic system conforms to exploitative institutions ans structures. It is, therefore necessary for India not only to determine the priorities for development, but also to evolve a sound strategy to ensure a new economic order both within and without.
In pursuit of this ideology, CReNIEO is committed to a research programme with the following objectives:
- To pursue research with social action programmes
- To train young men and women in research and action and orient their research to development concerns, especially to the economically backward communities of India
- To study development challenges that involve interdisciplinary, socio-economic, political, cultural and technological approach.
Action expresses priorities.
