Aim
I have chosen to research about this aim because it has been quite visible about the transition village Aklimpur has been going through, when I went to conduct this field work we were assigned communicators to speak in Hindi with the villagers but eventually we found out that there was no need of a communicator as everybody spoke English fluently, also while conducting this field work we had conducted 10 houses out of which only 3 households were involved in farming, apart from these three house every household member had been involved in a service or had their own business!
Introduction
On the 28th of November, Saturday the grade 10 geography class was headed to the village Aklimpur for an interesting new fieldwork. We basically wanted to go to the village Aklimpur as it was pretty close to the school and my interest was to find out if pathways world school had any effect on the villages nearby in development of their lifestyle.
In this field trip our group of geography students were encouraged and mainly sent to the village to have a brief idea of how to collect primary research. To collect our primary research our grade had collected a large number of opened and close ended questions a...

...eople over their now mainly do jobs and have stopped agriculture even if they do agriculture they only do it for themselves only.
Evaluation
The field trip was a wonderful experience and we had a lot’s of fun after the coursework was done. Bhagirathi ma’am had given us Maggi, biryani and coke to eat and drink. The time taken for the fieldtrip was more and the thing that could have been better that we could have gone to Niligiri for the coursework which could have been more fun. The raw material could have been much better and we would have stayed for a much longer period of time. This coursework could be much better if we had better photographs that were clicked by the Kimberly as she did not click many photo graphs which could give a better and closer look to the life structure of the village. Or they could have made sketch of the area or even a house.

It is clear; there is an influx of opportunity for Tachi Yokut tribe and other tribal nation where research indicates it is an untapped market when it comes to technology industries, especially in the area of improving the quality of life in rural communities. Currently, Tachi Yokut tribes have no internet access, unlike some of the major surrounding local cities such as Lemoore and Hanford. This has created social and economic barriers for the people in the Tachi Yokut rural communities by isolating them from the mainstream media. The lack of access to the internet has made the people in the rural communities less competitive compared to the people living in the major cities with internet access. In addition, the lack of internet access has made tribal educational institutions in the rural communities incompatible with the county current standard educational requirements. This has led to many students from the rural communities having to repeat classes when they apply to community colleges and universities in the major cities. As a result, the disparity in social and economic opportunities for the people in rural communities continues to exist.
There is so much that goes into helping people in the most effective and efficient manner. I have learned that you have to expand your knowledge in every aspect of the developing country, and you have to focus on the issue that you are trying to tackle. We also have discussed in class about the corruption of people especially ones that hold power or ones that want power. And Jacqueline challenges that issue. For instance, the government maybe taking gains for itself and not for the people that it is meant to be for. Such as financial aids that might go straight to the governments instead for the people that need the aid. She also challenges the system of agricultural department in the sense that people that make the policies or distribute the money don’t take the culture of the area such as implementing polices for men even though the main workers in farming are women. And the fact that the farmers don’t have adequate resources from the government or financial support. In class, we talked about government failures in the agriculture sectors such as proper policies, market boards, and the big bias towards agriculture. The government has no system set up to lend money or help the
History provides the opportunity to explore the origins of a topic or problem. The information from Agriculture and rural society after the Black Death provides an overview of agricultural and rural society’s agrarian issues; during the Middle-Ages these issues were centered around depopulation and social conflict (Dodds & Britnell, 2008, pp.3-50). Problems in the economics of society in the medieval fourteenth century involved the decline of social status and labor services (Dodds & Britnell, 2008, pp.73-132). Other examples are seen in change and growth describe of that in 1870, the Great Plains only had 127,000 people; six decades later in 1930, there were 6.8 million people; 74 percent of the population lived in non-metropolitan areas; from 1930 to 1940, there was a loss of 200,000 people; 75 percent of these counties lost populations from the Great Depression and severe drought, which had caused the abandonment of farms (Kandel & Brown, 2006, p.431). To understand these past experiences, the door to hindering issues must be opened to determine how agricultural sustainability forges change.

Our nation was founded on agriculture, and for hundreds of years we were able to migrate across the nation bringing our farming tools and techniques with us. Technology has driven populations away from rural areas towards industrialized cities. With money now being pumped into cities, rural farmers are suffering the most. Farmers are taking out large loans in order to sustain their farms, leading to debt and in some cases suicide. Patel spoke about a farmer in India whose husband took his life because he was unable to live with the amount of debt from his struggling farm. This man left his wife and chi...

The second suggestion of setting better criteria for determining which institutions should be included in the study has also been incorporated when setting criteria. It has yet to be determined whether stand alone rural institutions, rural institutions associated with urban centers, or a combination of the two will yield the best results. At this point in time, this student is leaning towards the combination.
In this chapter, the researcher discusses further on research methodology used in the current research to achieve the research objectives as previously highlighted in Chapter One. This chapter will discuss on research design, population, sampling design and data collection method.

Agriculture has changed dramatically, especially since the end of World War II. Food and fibre productivity rose due to new technologies, mechanization, increased chemical use, specialization and government policies that favoured maximizing production. These changes allowed fewer farmers with reduced labour demands to produce the majority of the food and fibre.
During the research study, I had a chance to visit five rural districts of Nepal where I directly
