Abstract

In rural areas, science and technology are important factors; they are associated with development because they have an old record of bringing about lifestyle development, health conditions, the generation of income and improved productivity in people's lives (Kapur, 2019). The key components of solutions to rural people's most serious problems are the science and technology; they are poverty alleviation and economic challenges. The higher education institutions have also joined forces in this initiative at the same time. This research is the result of an effort made to foster scientific and technical advances through community service projects of graduate engineering students for sustainable rural villages of Tamil Nadu.
