Comilla Model :
The Academy is famous for its evolved model Comilla Approach to Rural Development
and received National Award in 1986 for its remarkable contribution in Rural Development.
Objectives behind the introduction of the project:
(i) to provide a real-life learning situation for the trainees at the Academy,
(ii) to devise development model(s) of programs/institutions which could be replicated
elsewhere in the country.
The arguments and assumptions behind the Comilla Model :(i) the problems of rural development should be approached from the villagers' point of view,
because they have the best understanding of the problems of rural life and the rural
situation;
(ii) the villagers are capable of bringing about changes in their conditions having been
provided with the means for development;
(iii) agricultural development should be made an essential step in initiating a broader rural
development process;
(iv) the village should be considered as a basic development unit, & recognized as the starting
point of the process of modernization;
(v) The training, research and demonstration are essential in promoting rural development.
