Year: 2018
Type: preprint
Abstract: India is one of the best-performing economies in the developing world, marked by its increasing decadal growth rate, with decline in the gender gap and steady falling poverty rates. Despite the developments, there is a wide gap between rural and urban India with respect to technology, living condition, economic empowerment, etc., although India has vast possibilities of rural economy development as the rural population and the rural land area constitute around two-thirds of the total population and total land area of the country respectively. The rural India remains predominantly backward depending mostly on agricultural sector. The growth rate in agricultural sector is much lower than in other sectors, thereby upsetting the entire supply chain modeling for nearly two-thirds of the country. This requires the revamping of the current studies towards redefining the new economic strategy for the long-term sustainable economic supply chain system in the rural environs that involves supplementing the agricultural sector with service sector. Tourism can be one of the possibilities as the present research study has tried to evince in the Chhera village of Pithoragarh. The study is a practical insight into Sustainable Supply Chain Tourism Management in the Chhera village of Pithoragarh, made sustainable through local community participation and the benefit of competitive edge.
