Abstract: Abstract With reasonably accessible transportation, infrastructure and communication networks, hardly any area or community remains totally disconnected from the globalised urbanised world. However, regions distant from the centre of political and commercial power continue to be countrysides, unlike the immediate peripheries of metropolitan cities or intermediate towns. Away from the peripheries of mega cities and other urban areas, interior India reveals a distinct picture of ‘under-cultivated’ lands inhabited by ‘unemployed’ or under-employed poor. With few non-farm employment options and weak development indicators, towns in remote rural locations retain more of their rural nature and culture. They house small buildings that host mostly government agencies (panchayat office, hospital, post office, train and bus stations and market yards) and a few shops selling consumer goods and services like mobile phones or home appliances, apart from a few local markets for perishables, agricultural inputs and equipment. People and produce from the surrounding areas regularly pass through these nondescript towns.
