Featured Track

Rural Transformation

The Rural Transformation track will highlight some of the PanIIT initiatives that are already under way, and will seek to make an impact at the micro level.

A large number of prominent speakers and panelists will talk about their efforts to transform villages in India, with many using videos to make their point.

One exciting highlight in this track is a choice of 6 different one-day tours to visit projects within driving distance of Chennai. The tours will take place on 22 Dec, the day after the conference, with a nominal fee to cover costs. When you register for the conference, you will have the option to add on the rural tour and pay the fee online.
