Of Psychology Avadh Girls’ Degree College Lucknow E-mail - drsupriyatripathi@gmail.com The concept of rural development is most often talked among the social scientists, policy makers, scientists and others. This paper brings forth the need for interventions from the field of psychology for providing a progressive outlook to the people as well as the system. It talks about the application of some of the psychological approaches discussed by Landini, Mendez and Hegedus for extension practices for sustainable development. These practices should also become a useful tool for supporting the livelihood struggles of the underprivileged section of the rural society. Thus, an attempt is made to highlight the need of psychology for rural development to raise awareness about its potentiality as well as applicability in dealing with the problems.
