Synopsis

Home Science for Rural Development: A Practical Guide is a useful book that explains how Home Science can improve the lives of rural families, especially women. It contains 12 simple and practical chapters on nutrition, health, income generation, home management, child care, hygiene, and use of technology. The book teaches how to prepare healthy meals with local foods, preserve seasonal fruits and vegetables, manage family budgets, save money through schemes, grow vegetables at home, and earn income through stitching, dyeing, and value-added products. It also covers menstrual hygiene management, safe drinking water, clean kitchens for a healthy lifespan, child development, and healthy diet plans for children’s overall growth. Special focus is on empowering rural women through vocational training, Self-Help Groups (SHGs), and support from Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs). Useful annexures include sample recipes, charts, mobile apps, and key government schemes. This guide helps rural women save time, earn income, and lead healthier lives, building stronger, self-reliant villages through Home Science.
