- H E Dr Rajendra Prasad (middle), the then President of India Inaugurating the First Afro-Asian Conference on Rural Reconstruction in New Delhi in January 1961.
- The formation of Afro-Asian Rural Development Organization (AARDO) [earlier known as Afro-Asian Rural Reconstruction Organization] in 1962 underscored the far-sightedness of the social and political leaders of Asia and Africa in recognising the need for cooperation among the countries in the field of agriculture and rural development. AARDO which is one of the earliest examples of South-South cooperation in rural development in the Afro-Asian region, is an autonomous inter-governmental Organization comprising country governments of Africa and Asia. The Organization was set up with a view to promote coordinated efforts, exchange of experiences and cooperative action for furthering the objectives of development of the rural areas.
