Background Information The village of Dusadj was destroyed by an earthquake in 1963. During the course of reconstruction, by volunteers of a European working group and students from Teheran University, enquiries were made into the socio-economic situation of the village. On the basis of these enquiries, Dusadj and three neighbouring villages were chosen for a pilot experiment in rural development which, if successful, could be later applied to some 60 villages of the region. The project area is in the district of Kharagan, 170 kms. south-west of Teheran, and is financed by Trust Funds amounting to approximately $147.000, provided by FAO/Freedon from Hunger Campaign, plus a Government contribution of approximately $165.000.
