 ABOUT
The TEDx Program is designed to help communities,
organizations and individuals to spark conversation and
connection through local TED-like experiences.

At TEDx events, a screening of TED Talks videos — or a

combination of live presenters and TED Talks videos —
sparks deep conversation and connections at the local
level. TEDx events are planned and coordinated
independently, under a free license granted by TED

ABOUT
TEDx is about simplified, authentic storytelling.
TEDxIRMA inspires to share the same passion and vision
to provide a platform to communicate ideas worth
spreading. We aim to provide a springboard to ideas
across disciplines and technologies to inspire people to
think and take actions to help create a better future.
 THEME
RE-IMAGINING RURAL
Rural India has changed significantly over the
last two decades.
 The aspirations of this new 21st century Rural
are drastically different from that of the 20th
century Rural.
This calls for a re-imagination of Rural. While
the 20th century rural was mostly about
agriculture and farmers, the new rural needs to
be re-imagined in terms of the contributions of
rural producers, consumers, innovators,
entrepreneurs, farmers, and community leaders.

The role of re-imagined rural in emerging India

necessitates a paradigm shift in our thinking.
Let us try to re-imagine Rural on a larger
canvass.

TEDx IRMA dares to re-imagine Rural through

the talks of some of the thought leaders in this
space.
