Understanding how quantum chromodynamics, the theory of strong interaction, works in the low-energy region, the so-called confinement region is one of the major challenges facing physicists. Low energy hadron physics, particularly the structure of hadron is one of the most active areas of research in nuclear physics addressing this challenge. In this talk, I will review advances made in this area on a few selected topics in the last decade or so and also provide outlook for the future.
