The realistic, holistic and sustainable development of India is undoubtedly based on the overall and balanced upliftment of rural masses. Hence, Yug Rishi Pandit ShriRam Sharma AcharyaJi initiated his Yug Nirman Yojna which embodies a realistic model of rural improvement guided by the principle of the philosophy of Gram Teerth. Hence, a course on rural management and entrepreneurship development is being offered in this department of DSVV. The course is focusing on basic and practical aspects of rural management, entrepreneurship, agriculture , cow culture, bee keeping , holistic health management of rural people and domestic animals and education also incorporating the effective linkages between farm production and small industries and also the salient features of Gram teerth Yojna and its long lasting effects on sustainable societal development.

Self employment opportunities lie in areas like alternative agriculture, organic farming, village/small scale industries sector, live stock development, honey industry, herbal farming, food processing, post harvest technology, rural artisanal activities being run/financed by various NGOs, central and state governments and corporate organizations.
5) 6 months certificate course on water resources : conservation and management (Water Resources Conservation & Management)
Water has attained the position of the most precious natural resource for sustaining the life, societal development and environmental conservation. However, due to poor and unscientific harvesting and indiscriminate uses , its availability and quality both have reached a critical phase leading to disastrous situation. Our university has seriously responded to this man made problem and has started a course on basic and practical aspects of judicious conservation and management of water resources. The course has been designed to address the problems of the subject including hydrological cycle and its importance, different sources of water and their harvesting potential and practices, modern and traditional management techniques of water resources and environmental issues and social commitments. The successful pass out students will acquire employment potential in different organizations both in public and private sectors and also those working on PPP mode for nature and water conservation and management. It is apparent from the worsening situation that in near future state/central governments might need to appoint block level water conservation personnel to overcome such challenges. Our students of DSVV will be the most suitable human resources for such social requirements.
Beside above courses, the department has formulated a MSc. Degree course on organic herbal farming , their processing (for different systems of healing), inland marketing and global trade and we envisage to start it soon. This course follows a balanced path of farming ,processing and trading of medicinally potent herbs, shrubs, climbers and trees ultimately resulting in biodiversity. Conservation, forest protection, ecofriendly development based on the novel slogan of PPP(Produce,Process and Prosper).
