Importance of Village Talking about the importance of village, Mahatma Gandhi writes, “I would say if the village perishes, India will perish too. It will be no more India.” (Harijan. 29.08.36.) He also proclaims once- “India lives in its villages”. This is valid even today, in many perspectives! 75% of Indian population lives in its 6000,000 villages and semi urban areas. It is in rural India that a vast potential of talent and untapped creative and intellectual energy lies. Therefore, it is imperative to the development of India that these villages develop. Yet, these villages are far behind in fulfilling the basic necessities like education, health care and financial empowerment. Lot of people still live “below poverty level” in these villages. If this group of people is not empowered, the nation as a whole cannot flourish and develop. And hence, the concept of Rural Development is a comprehensive one, emphasizing on the economic, political, social, educational, ecological and spiritual dimensions. |
