SUMMARY
The Rural Society of India is very much backward. It backwardness is very much due
to the several problems that haunt the Rural Society. The process of change is very slow and
so the problems are more or less age old in recent years, the process of change has been
accelerated and so new problems are also cropping up.
Lack of cleanliness and dirt breeds germs of diseases. Hence, people fall an easy prey
to diseases.
INTRODUCTION
The Rural Society of India is very much backward. It backwardness is very much due
to the several problems that haunt the Rural Society. The process of change is very slow and
so the problems are more or less age old in recent years, the process of change has been
accelerated and so new problems are also cropping up.
The major problems consist of the agriculture, the ownership of the land, the lack of
cottage industries, lack of education social evils, death of animal, wealth, bad wealth and so
on. These problems are the result of traditionalism and conservatism of the Rural Society.
The problems of the villages may be studied under the following heads: The problems
concerning agriculture, The problems of cottage industries, The problems of population, The
problems of rural health and education, The problem of the status of women, The problem of
child marriage, The problem of traditionalism and conservatism, The problem of
unemployment, Problem of nutrition in villages.
India lives in its villages, and while the cities have grown immensely over the last 20
years, rural areas have not seen that kind of development. For India’s economy to be strong,
the rural economy needs to grow. Rural areas are still plagued by problems of
malnourishment, illiteracy, unemployment and lack of basic infrastructure like schools,
colleges, hospitals, sanitation, etc. This has led to youth moving out of villages to work in
cities. This could be compared to the brain drain from India to US. Our villages need to grow
in tandem with cities and standard of life has to improve there for inclusive growth to happen.
If rural India is poor, India is poor.

Some Rural Issues in India
Poverty:
Poverty in India is still a major issue even in this day and age. The population of
people living below the poverty line in India is the highest in the world and the problem is not
going away. If you've ever been to India then you'll understand - from the moment the place
hits the ground the poverty is evident, indeed it is the idea of such extreme poverty which
puts people of the idea of travelling to India in the first place.
A number of factors are responsible for poverty in the rural areas of India. Rural
populations primarily depend on agriculture as their livelihoods, which in turn, is highly
dependant on rain patterns and monsoons. Inadequate rain and improper irrigation facilities
can obviously cause low, or in some cases, zero production of crops followed by the obvious
but sometimes catastrophic repercussions that often follows.
An Indian family unit can be often very large, which can exacerbate the effects of
poverty. Also, the caste system which is still found a lot in India (although it is getting less) is
a major reason for rural poverty for it keeps people locked in the endless cycle with less
facilities and opportunities for the lower castes. The government has planned and
implemented poverty eradication programs, but the benefits of all these programs have yet to
reach the core of the country.
Poverty in India - the statistics
● 50% of Indians don’t have proper shelter;
● 70% don’t have access to decent toilets (which inspires a multitude of bacteria to host
their own disease party);
● 35% of households don’t have a nearby water source;
● 85% of villages don’t have a secondary school (how can this be the same government
claiming 9% annual growth?);
● Over 40% of these same villages don’t have proper roads connecting them.
Electricity:
It is a matter of shame for all of us that even 56 years after Independence, 63 per cent
of all rural households in India do not have electricity and use kerosene for lighting. Even for
those rural areas, which are electrified, there is a tremendous shortage of power supply. Thus
it is not uncommon for these areas to have 10-15 hours of blackouts and brownouts every
day. There is a shortfall of about 15,000-20,000 mw of electricity in the country and we
require about 140,000 mw of additional capacity by 2010 with an estimated outlay of Rs
5,50,000 crore. Because of tremendous shortage of electricity, industrial growth and general
life in the country is seriously affected.
Does a village being declared “electrified” mean that households get electricity?
“The key issue that remains ambiguous is what defines “power for all” — Is it just
electrification of villages or to provide quality and adequate electricity to all households?
The definition of electrified village has changed over the years. Before October 1997,
a village was classified as “electrified” if electricity was used within its revenue area for any
purpose. After October 1997, a village was declared “electrified” if the electricity was used in
the inhabited locality, within the revenue boundary of the village for any purpose.
Water:
Earlier this year,Safe Water Network released a detailed and comprehensive report
that takes stock of the progress of community safe water solutions in the country. This report
on the drinking water situation in India addresses some of the key questions we are seeking to
answer as investors – finding profitable companies that can deliver affordable water for the
masses. here are some facts on the drinking water situation in India that will make you sit up
and take note of the problem.
1) It is estimated that only 18% of a total rural population of 833 million Indians have access
to treated water. In comparison, 41% of the rural population, or 346 million people, own
mobile phones.
2) Only about one-third of rural households in India are reached by piped water supplies.
The balance two-third of rural households is still living ‘beyond the pipe’. The 2011 census
estimates that 138 million rural households, or about 685–690 million people, lack access to
safe drinking water.
3) More than half of the pipes in rural areas in India deliver untreated water.
4) Access to safe water varies greatly from state to state. 36% of the rural population in
Andhra Pradesh has access to treated water while, in Bihar, less than 2% of the rural
population receives treated water.
5) The 13% of rural households (approximately 22 million people) served by
untreatedpiped connections along with the 69% of households (approximately 116 million
people) that live beyond the pipe, constitute a large potential market for safe water solutions.
6) Among the venture capital firms that were analyzed in the report, only 5 out of 15 had
provided funding to firms operating in the drinking water sector.
We, at Unitus Seed Fund, understand that the sector has potential for mass scale demand and
social impact, yet is fraught with challenges. We are looking to fund startups that aim to
provide safe drinking water for the masses through sustainable and scalable business models
Caste System
In India, the caste system has been a large part of society and still remains, though to a
lesser extent, to be a part of society. This may be in an official or unofficial sense because
most South Asian countries have either outlawed the caste system or are trying to move away
from it. The caste system is basically a way of dividing people into different social classes,
beginning with Brahmins as the highest (Priests and teachers), Kshatriyas (warriors and
rulers), Vaisyas (farmers, merchants, and artisans), and Sudras (laborers); see Figure 1.
Untouchables, also known as Harijans or Dalits, fall outside of the caste system all together.
These were the original caste groupings as made clear by one Hindu Holy Scripture called the
Bhagvad Gita. Initially, the system was created to promote the harmonious workings of
society‖, but eventually, it has mostly through corruption reached the prejudice and
discriminationfilled system it is today (Kar, 2007). This corruption began with Colonialism
and has had a profound impact on the modern day caste system. It is thought that ―Indian
society was highly fragmented into communal groupings that served as centers for social
identity. In trying to make sense of these groupings, the Portuguese first suggested caste
identities. The British expanded on that idea to promote order in Indian society. The caste
system seems to have played a large part in creating poverty in India
Caste stands as a pivot of rural social structure. It acts as the most powerful
determinant of individual behavior and social order in rural unity. Caste is the determinant of
individual status and role. It determines the status of the individual as soon as he takes birth.
Education:
When we talk about education in India, we can’t just talk about how education is in
urban cities of India, without going deep into rural education that constitutes almost 90% of
the schools being located in rural areas. Recent studies have shown how the face of education
in rural parts of the country have developed to a great extent, but some remote areas still do
need a serious checkup with children failing to receive basic quality education.
We cannot but agree that, it is education that leads to the road to betterment of a community
and the nation at large. And when we think about bring in a reformation in education, we
have to point out what all prevents the education system in India to develop.
The most common problems that hinders the growth of education in rural India can be
pointed out as
● Lack of proper transportation. Most villages have poor connectivity from one place to
another and that is often one of the main reason why, despite efforts by local
governing bodies to build schools, often go in vain. Children, most of the time have to
walk miles to reach these government funded schools and this often demotivate them
to attend school on a regular basis.
● People belonging to remote rural areas have meager incomes, which at times is too
less to sustain a family of maybe four or five. Most likely, children from these
families won’t be sent to schools, instead would be asked to assist the earning member
of the family to add up some extra income. On the other hand, teachers in rural
educational centers in villages are paid poorly, often leading to lack of attention by
teachers, ultimately forcing the students to suffer.
● Lack of proper infrastructure at these rural schools is also a big concern. Most of the
schools don’t have proper classrooms, teaching equipment, playgrounds and even
basic facilities like clean toilets. Thus, the poor condition of schools are big reasons to
drive away students.
Female foeticide:
This is a major social problem in India and has cultural connections with the
dowry system that is ingrained in Indian culture, despite the fact that it has been
prohibited by law since 1961.In India a strong preference for sons over daughters exists,
unlike in Western cultures. Increasing human trafficking and continuous presence of
female foeticide,infanticide had placed India as the world's fourthmost dangerous
place for women, as per a survey conducted by Thomson Reuters' Trustlaw Women, a
hub of legal information and legal support for women's rights .
Female foeticide is in practice in India from the time of advent of technological
advancements in medical field like prenatal sex determination in the 1990s. However, earlier
to this, female childs were killing after their birth in many regions of the country. In the
Indian society, female childs are considered as the social and economic burden to their
parents so they understand that it is better to kill them before birth. No one understands its
negative aspect in the future. The female sex ratio in comparison to the males has been
reduced to a great extent (8 males per one female). It is not easy to compensate the sex ratio
even if we stop female foeticide completely in the next few years.
Transport:
A major constraint with developing and maintaining rural roads is the fact that they are,
unfortunately, rural. The areas where they are needed are often difficult to access, logistics
become complicated, local contracting capability is limited, engineers are few and far
between, and younger engineers especially, are not keen to leave the urban environment.
We need somehow to keep our design and construction techniques to take into account
capability and the limited knowledge on quality procedures. How do we do it?
● Design simple, high error margin techniques with low maintenance regimes
● Use local materials as much as possible
● Remember the cheapest option is probably the worst option no matter what the
economic analysis or traffic volume figures indicate.
There are many issues surrounding the low initial-cost provision of gravel roads. These
include:
● Short road-life expectation due to erosion and wear
● Lack of drainage and watercourse crossings
● Damage to health and detriment to farming productivity from dust
● Damage to road users and equipment from rough roads
There is increased expectation amongst the rural poor that governments will provide and
maintain roads in a condition that facilitate all-weather access and regular transport services.
Agriculture:
Agriculture, the backbone of Indian economy, contributes to the overall economic
growth of the country and determines the standard of life for more than 50% of the Indian
population.
Agriculture contributes only about 14% to the overall GDP but its impact is felt in the
manufacturing sector as well as the services sector as the rural population has become a
significant consumer of goods and services in the last couple of decades.
Problems faced by the Agriculture Sector :-
1) Fragmented land holding :-
Nearly 80% of the 140 million farming families hold less than 2 acres of land. Large land
holdings enable the farmer to implement modern agricultural techniques and boost
productivity. Small land holdings restrict the farmer to use traditional methods of
farming and limit productivity.
2)Irrigation problems :-
Most of the farming in India is monsoon dependent – if monsoons are good, the entire
economy (and not just the agricultural sector) is upbeat and when the monsoon fails,
everyone everywhere takes a hit to some extent. The problem here is of proper
management of water or the lack of it.
3) Seed problems :-
Most of the farmers – especially the poor and marginal ones – are dependent on seeds
sold in the market.
4) Sustainability problems :-
Indian agricultural productivity is very less compared to world standards due to use of
obsolete farming technology. Coupled with this, lack of understanding of the need for
sustainability in the poor farming community has made things worse.
5) Over dependence on traditional crops like rice and wheat :-
Every crop requires certain climatic conditions to give the best yields. Though rice and
wheat are produced in a large area in India, certain areas can readily switch to other
crops to get better productivity. India is importing cooking oil from abroad though we
have the necessary conditions to grow more oilseeds here.
6) Supply channel bottlenecks and lack of market understanding :-
Supply channel bottlenecks and lack of a proper marketing channel are serious problems for a
farmer who is already burdened with a host of troubles. These are issues which need to be
tackled at the regional, state and national levels.
Child Labour:
This is the worst social evil in India. Children are exploited and are made to work
in dangerous places like cracker factories. They are not treated properly. Like other
social evils there are rules and laws made to stop the child exploitation but nothing has
been ever properly implemented in India and hence you can still see teenagers and
children working in the shops and factories.
Child labour in India is to be found in almost every sector of the informal
economy.Children are to be found working in workshops and small factories, in dhabas
and restaurants, on the streets as well as domestic servants.
agriculture or in assisting petty family business from those who work outside the
home for a wage. Moreover, since it is primarily girl children who work at home
assisting their mothers in the household tasks of looking after younger siblings, cooking,
cleaning, washing, etc., such a distinction would openly discriminate against female
children. It is here that engendering of the development strategy links up with the rights
of all children who are out of school.
Rural development
The people of India live mostly in rural areas (villages). Therefore, it is in the heart of
the villages that the nation lives. Indeed, “the soul of India is in the toil of the rural areas”.
The welfare of India depends upon the prosperity of the villages.
Ways and Means of Rural Development:
After our independence, the conditions of the villages have been improved. The
problems of our villages are many and various. For their solution, intelligent guidance of both
the government and the people is needed.
The ways and means of rural development:
1. education of the masses
2. establishment of night schools for adults
3. improvement of sanitation
4. provisions for cheap medical aid
5. construction of good roads
6. establishment of co-operative credit societies
Educated people should go to the villages and settle there. Mass education should be
introduced to remove the ignorance of the villagers. It should be made both compulsory and
free. Night schools should be set up for the adults to teach them elementary Hygiene and
scientific methods of cultivation.
For the improvement of sanitation, jungles should be cut down. Arrangements should
be made for supply of pure drinking water on a large scale. Tube-wells should be sunk, new
wells and ponds should be dug. Every village should be equipped with a hospital and a
charitable dispensary for providing proper medical aid to the villagers.
Roads and other means of communication in the rural areas should be improved. The
government should teach the farmers scientific methods of cultivation and supply them with
implements of agriculture.
Co-operative Credit Societies should be set up to advance loans to the peasants.
Arbitration boards should settle disputes and differences. Cottage industries should receive
encouragement. Educational films should be exhibited.
Good libraries should be provided in every village. In this way, each village should be
developed into a self-sufficient unit. It is a happy sign that our government is doing its best to
improve the condition of the villages through various schemes of rural uplift. It’s the progress
hitherto made has not been up to the mark.
School and college students can do a lot of work for rural development.
Components of Rural Development
Rural development entails some components. They are as follows:
1. Rural development seeks to transform all the sectors of rural economy – the
primary sector, the secondary sector and the tertiary sector.
2. It is concerned with the improvement of the standard of living of the ruralites
through the provision of health and medical facilities, employment opportunities including
vocational training, educational facilities etc.
3. It brings about significant improvement in the socio-economic conditions of the
scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, the landless agricultural labourers and the marginal and
small fanners.
Essential Aspects of Rural Development
The essential aspects of rural development are as follows:
1. Agricultural development constitutes the crucial aspect of rural development.
Agricultural development is possible through the use of better seeds, adequate fertilisers,
manures, and pesticides, adequate supply of water and effective implementation of land
reform measures.
2. The success of the rural development programmes depends on the co-operative
orientation and attitude among the ruralites. The functioning of the co-operative societies
goes a long way in improving the conditions of the vulnerable sections of the rural set-up.
3. Rural development programmes demand the active participation of the ruralites.
While formulating these programmes the opinions, attitudes, drives and interests of the rural
people should be taken into account. Further, dedicated and committed village leaders should
come forward to guide the masses for bringing about rural development.
Integrated Rural Development:
It is claimed that the concept of Integrated Rural Development was originally
propounded by the World Bank. In India the concept was put forward in the year 1976 at the
All-India Science Congress by C. Subramanyam, the then Finance Minister of India.
He viewed integrated rural development as “systematic, scientific and integrated use
of all our natural resources and as a part of this process enabling every person to engage
himself in a productive and socially useful occupation and earn an income that would meet at
least the basic needs.”
He holds the view that the use of natural resources is possible only through the
application of science and technology. Further, proper application of science and technology
results in the fulfilment of basic social needs.
G. Parthasarathy refers to four ‘routes’ in the context of integrated rural development:
(i) the institutional route of Gunnar Myrdal, (ii) the ‘New Economics’ route, (iii) the Neo-
Marxian route and (iv) the Gandhian route. V.K.R.V. Rao defines integrated rural
development as “the optimum utilization of the natural and human resources of a given rural
area for the enrichment of the quality of life of the population.”
The concept of integrated rural development addresses itself to various rural problems
like widespread poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, exploitation, inequitable distribution of
land, poor health conditions etc. It signifies that various facets of rural development are
integrally connected.
It is a holistic concept rather than a sequential one. K. Om Prakash and G.
Satyanarayan rightly observe that integrated rural development embraces all the activities of
enrichment and betterment of the overall quality of rural life through appropriate
development of man power, resources, infrastructural facilities and provisions of minimum
needs and livelihood. It has far-reaching socio-economic and political implications for the life
of the ruralites.

CONCLUSION
No doubt, villages are in a state of neglect and under-development, with impoverished
people, as result of past legacies and defects in our planning process and investment pattern.
But the potential in rural India is immense. What if every village in the country is provided
with basic amenities, like drinking water, electricity, health care, educational transport,
communication and other facilities, with only a smaller population of the village engaged in
agriculture and the remaining in other gainful occupations? When this happens India will turn
into mighty country. The purchasing power of the rural population throwing enormous
demand for goods and services will boost the national economy tremendously. The day will
see the reverse migration of people from the urban slums back to the villages. Rural
Development is the subject to come to the forefront after the economic reforms and rural
banking will serve the backbone of this development.

  • 7. SUMMARY The Rural Society of India is very much backward. It backwardness is very much due to the several problems that haunt the Rural Society. The process of change is very slow and so the problems are more or less age old in recent years, the process of change has been accelerated and so new problems are also cropping up. Lack of cleanliness and dirt breeds germs of diseases. Hence, people fall an easy prey to diseases.
  • 8. INTRODUCTION The Rural Society of India is very much backward. It backwardness is very much due to the several problems that haunt the Rural Society. The process of change is very slow and so the problems are more or less age old in recent years, the process of change has been accelerated and so new problems are also cropping up. The major problems consist of the agriculture, the ownership of the land, the lack of cottage industries, lack of education social evils, death of animal, wealth, bad wealth and so on. These problems are the result of traditionalism and conservatism of the Rural Society. The problems of the villages may be studied under the following heads: The problems concerning agriculture, The problems of cottage industries, The problems of population, The problems of rural health and education, The problem of the status of women, The problem of child marriage, The problem of traditionalism and conservatism, The problem of unemployment, Problem of nutrition in villages. India lives in its villages, and while the cities have grown immensely over the last 20 years, rural areas have not seen that kind of development. For India’s economy to be strong, the rural economy needs to grow. Rural areas are still plagued by problems of malnourishment, illiteracy, unemployment and lack of basic infrastructure like schools, colleges, hospitals, sanitation, etc. This has led to youth moving out of villages to work in cities. This could be compared to the brain drain from India to US. Our villages need to grow in tandem with cities and standard of life has to improve there for inclusive growth to happen. If rural India is poor, India is poor.

  • 11. Some Rural Issues in India Poverty: Poverty in India is still a major issue even in this day and age. The population of people living below the poverty line in India is the highest in the world and the problem is not going away. If you've ever been to India then you'll understand - from the moment the place hits the ground the poverty is evident, indeed it is the idea of such extreme poverty which puts people of the idea of travelling to India in the first place. A number of factors are responsible for poverty in the rural areas of India. Rural populations primarily depend on agriculture as their livelihoods, which in turn, is highly dependant on rain patterns and monsoons. Inadequate rain and improper irrigation facilities can obviously cause low, or in some cases, zero production of crops followed by the obvious but sometimes catastrophic repercussions that often follows. An Indian family unit can be often very large, which can exacerbate the effects of poverty. Also, the caste system which is still found a lot in India (although it is getting less) is a major reason for rural poverty for it keeps people locked in the endless cycle with less facilities and opportunities for the lower castes. The government has planned and implemented poverty eradication programs, but the benefits of all these programs have yet to reach the core of the country.
  • 12. Poverty in India - the statistics ● 50% of Indians don’t have proper shelter; ● 70% don’t have access to decent toilets (which inspires a multitude of bacteria to host their own disease party); ● 35% of households don’t have a nearby water source; ● 85% of villages don’t have a secondary school (how can this be the same government claiming 9% annual growth?); ● Over 40% of these same villages don’t have proper roads connecting them.
  • 13. Electricity: It is a matter of shame for all of us that even 56 years after Independence, 63 per cent of all rural households in India do not have electricity and use kerosene for lighting. Even for those rural areas, which are electrified, there is a tremendous shortage of power supply. Thus it is not uncommon for these areas to have 10-15 hours of blackouts and brownouts every day. There is a shortfall of about 15,000-20,000 mw of electricity in the country and we require about 140,000 mw of additional capacity by 2010 with an estimated outlay of Rs 5,50,000 crore. Because of tremendous shortage of electricity, industrial growth and general life in the country is seriously affected. Does a village being declared “electrified” mean that households get electricity? “The key issue that remains ambiguous is what defines “power for all” — Is it just electrification of villages or to provide quality and adequate electricity to all households? The definition of electrified village has changed over the years. Before October 1997, a village was classified as “electrified” if electricity was used within its revenue area for any purpose. After October 1997, a village was declared “electrified” if the electricity was used in the inhabited locality, within the revenue boundary of the village for any purpose.
  • 14. Water: Earlier this year,Safe Water Network released a detailed and comprehensive report that takes stock of the progress of community safe water solutions in the country. This report on the drinking water situation in India addresses some of the key questions we are seeking to answer as investors – finding profitable companies that can deliver affordable water for the masses. here are some facts on the drinking water situation in India that will make you sit up and take note of the problem. 1) It is estimated that only 18% of a total rural population of 833 million Indians have access to treated water. In comparison, 41% of the rural population, or 346 million people, own mobile phones. 2) Only about one-third of rural households in India are reached by piped water supplies. The balance two-third of rural households is still living ‘beyond the pipe’. The 2011 census estimates that 138 million rural households, or about 685–690 million people, lack access to safe drinking water. 3) More than half of the pipes in rural areas in India deliver untreated water. 4) Access to safe water varies greatly from state to state. 36% of the rural population in Andhra Pradesh has access to treated water while, in Bihar, less than 2% of the rural population receives treated water.
  • 15. 5) The 13% of rural households (approximately 22 million people) served by untreatedpiped connections along with the 69% of households (approximately 116 million people) that live beyond the pipe, constitute a large potential market for safe water solutions. 6) Among the venture capital firms that were analyzed in the report, only 5 out of 15 had provided funding to firms operating in the drinking water sector. We, at Unitus Seed Fund, understand that the sector has potential for mass scale demand and social impact, yet is fraught with challenges. We are looking to fund startups that aim to provide safe drinking water for the masses through sustainable and scalable business models
  • 16. Caste System In India, the caste system has been a large part of society and still remains, though to a lesser extent, to be a part of society. This may be in an official or unofficial sense because most South Asian countries have either outlawed the caste system or are trying to move away from it. The caste system is basically a way of dividing people into different social classes, beginning with Brahmins as the highest (Priests and teachers), Kshatriyas (warriors and rulers), Vaisyas (farmers, merchants, and artisans), and Sudras (laborers); see Figure 1. Untouchables, also known as Harijans or Dalits, fall outside of the caste system all together. These were the original caste groupings as made clear by one Hindu Holy Scripture called the Bhagvad Gita. Initially, the system was created to promote the harmonious workings of society‖, but eventually, it has mostly through corruption reached the prejudice and discriminationfilled system it is today (Kar, 2007). This corruption began with Colonialism and has had a profound impact on the modern day caste system. It is thought that ―Indian society was highly fragmented into communal groupings that served as centers for social identity. In trying to make sense of these groupings, the Portuguese first suggested caste identities. The British expanded on that idea to promote order in Indian society. The caste system seems to have played a large part in creating poverty in India Caste stands as a pivot of rural social structure. It acts as the most powerful determinant of individual behavior and social order in rural unity. Caste is the determinant of individual status and role. It determines the status of the individual as soon as he takes birth.
  • 17. Education: When we talk about education in India, we can’t just talk about how education is in urban cities of India, without going deep into rural education that constitutes almost 90% of the schools being located in rural areas. Recent studies have shown how the face of education in rural parts of the country have developed to a great extent, but some remote areas still do need a serious checkup with children failing to receive basic quality education. We cannot but agree that, it is education that leads to the road to betterment of a community and the nation at large. And when we think about bring in a reformation in education, we have to point out what all prevents the education system in India to develop. The most common problems that hinders the growth of education in rural India can be pointed out as ● Lack of proper transportation. Most villages have poor connectivity from one place to another and that is often one of the main reason why, despite efforts by local governing bodies to build schools, often go in vain. Children, most of the time have to walk miles to reach these government funded schools and this often demotivate them to attend school on a regular basis. ● People belonging to remote rural areas have meager incomes, which at times is too less to sustain a family of maybe four or five. Most likely, children from these families won’t be sent to schools, instead would be asked to assist the earning member of the family to add up some extra income. On the other hand, teachers in rural educational centers in villages are paid poorly, often leading to lack of attention by teachers, ultimately forcing the students to suffer. ● Lack of proper infrastructure at these rural schools is also a big concern. Most of the schools don’t have proper classrooms, teaching equipment, playgrounds and even basic facilities like clean toilets. Thus, the poor condition of schools are big reasons to drive away students.
  • 18. Female foeticide: This is a major social problem in India and has cultural connections with the dowry system that is ingrained in Indian culture, despite the fact that it has been prohibited by law since 1961.In India a strong preference for sons over daughters exists, unlike in Western cultures. Increasing human trafficking and continuous presence of female foeticide,infanticide had placed India as the world's fourthmost dangerous place for women, as per a survey conducted by Thomson Reuters' Trustlaw Women, a hub of legal information and legal support for women's rights . Female foeticide is in practice in India from the time of advent of technological advancements in medical field like prenatal sex determination in the 1990s. However, earlier to this, female childs were killing after their birth in many regions of the country. In the Indian society, female childs are considered as the social and economic burden to their parents so they understand that it is better to kill them before birth. No one understands its negative aspect in the future. The female sex ratio in comparison to the males has been reduced to a great extent (8 males per one female). It is not easy to compensate the sex ratio even if we stop female foeticide completely in the next few years. Transport:
  • 19. A major constraint with developing and maintaining rural roads is the fact that they are, unfortunately, rural. The areas where they are needed are often difficult to access, logistics become complicated, local contracting capability is limited, engineers are few and far between, and younger engineers especially, are not keen to leave the urban environment. We need somehow to keep our design and construction techniques to take into account capability and the limited knowledge on quality procedures. How do we do it? ● Design simple, high error margin techniques with low maintenance regimes ● Use local materials as much as possible ● Remember the cheapest option is probably the worst option no matter what the economic analysis or traffic volume figures indicate.
  • 20. There are many issues surrounding the low initial-cost provision of gravel roads. These include: ● Short road-life expectation due to erosion and wear ● Lack of drainage and watercourse crossings ● Damage to health and detriment to farming productivity from dust ● Damage to road users and equipment from rough roads There is increased expectation amongst the rural poor that governments will provide and maintain roads in a condition that facilitate all-weather access and regular transport services.
  • 21. Agriculture: Agriculture, the backbone of Indian economy, contributes to the overall economic growth of the country and determines the standard of life for more than 50% of the Indian population. Agriculture contributes only about 14% to the overall GDP but its impact is felt in the manufacturing sector as well as the services sector as the rural population has become a significant consumer of goods and services in the last couple of decades. Problems faced by the Agriculture Sector :- 1) Fragmented land holding :- Nearly 80% of the 140 million farming families hold less than 2 acres of land. Large land holdings enable the farmer to implement modern agricultural techniques and boost productivity. Small land holdings restrict the farmer to use traditional methods of farming and limit productivity. 2)Irrigation problems :- Most of the farming in India is monsoon dependent – if monsoons are good, the entire economy (and not just the agricultural sector) is upbeat and when the monsoon fails, everyone everywhere takes a hit to some extent. The problem here is of proper management of water or the lack of it. 3) Seed problems :- Most of the farmers – especially the poor and marginal ones – are dependent on seeds sold in the market.
  • 22. 4) Sustainability problems :- Indian agricultural productivity is very less compared to world standards due to use of obsolete farming technology. Coupled with this, lack of understanding of the need for sustainability in the poor farming community has made things worse. 5) Over dependence on traditional crops like rice and wheat :- Every crop requires certain climatic conditions to give the best yields. Though rice and wheat are produced in a large area in India, certain areas can readily switch to other crops to get better productivity. India is importing cooking oil from abroad though we have the necessary conditions to grow more oilseeds here. 6) Supply channel bottlenecks and lack of market understanding :- Supply channel bottlenecks and lack of a proper marketing channel are serious problems for a farmer who is already burdened with a host of troubles. These are issues which need to be tackled at the regional, state and national levels.
  • 23. Child Labour: This is the worst social evil in India. Children are exploited and are made to work in dangerous places like cracker factories. They are not treated properly. Like other social evils there are rules and laws made to stop the child exploitation but nothing has been ever properly implemented in India and hence you can still see teenagers and children working in the shops and factories. Child labour in India is to be found in almost every sector of the informal economy.Children are to be found working in workshops and small factories, in dhabas and restaurants, on the streets as well as domestic servants. agriculture or in assisting petty family business from those who work outside the home for a wage. Moreover, since it is primarily girl children who work at home assisting their mothers in the household tasks of looking after younger siblings, cooking, cleaning, washing, etc., such a distinction would openly discriminate against female children. It is here that engendering of the development strategy links up with the rights of all children who are out of school.
  • 24. Rural development The people of India live mostly in rural areas (villages). Therefore, it is in the heart of the villages that the nation lives. Indeed, “the soul of India is in the toil of the rural areas”. The welfare of India depends upon the prosperity of the villages. Ways and Means of Rural Development: After our independence, the conditions of the villages have been improved. The problems of our villages are many and various. For their solution, intelligent guidance of both the government and the people is needed. The ways and means of rural development: 1. education of the masses 2. establishment of night schools for adults 3. improvement of sanitation 4. provisions for cheap medical aid 5. construction of good roads 6. establishment of co-operative credit societies
  • 25. Educated people should go to the villages and settle there. Mass education should be introduced to remove the ignorance of the villagers. It should be made both compulsory and free. Night schools should be set up for the adults to teach them elementary Hygiene and scientific methods of cultivation. For the improvement of sanitation, jungles should be cut down. Arrangements should be made for supply of pure drinking water on a large scale. Tube-wells should be sunk, new wells and ponds should be dug. Every village should be equipped with a hospital and a charitable dispensary for providing proper medical aid to the villagers. Roads and other means of communication in the rural areas should be improved. The government should teach the farmers scientific methods of cultivation and supply them with implements of agriculture. Co-operative Credit Societies should be set up to advance loans to the peasants. Arbitration boards should settle disputes and differences. Cottage industries should receive encouragement. Educational films should be exhibited. Good libraries should be provided in every village. In this way, each village should be developed into a self-sufficient unit. It is a happy sign that our government is doing its best to improve the condition of the villages through various schemes of rural uplift. It’s the progress hitherto made has not been up to the mark. School and college students can do a lot of work for rural development.
  • 26. Components of Rural Development Rural development entails some components. They are as follows: 1. Rural development seeks to transform all the sectors of rural economy – the primary sector, the secondary sector and the tertiary sector. 2. It is concerned with the improvement of the standard of living of the ruralites through the provision of health and medical facilities, employment opportunities including vocational training, educational facilities etc. 3. It brings about significant improvement in the socio-economic conditions of the scheduled castes, scheduled tribes, the landless agricultural labourers and the marginal and small fanners. Essential Aspects of Rural Development The essential aspects of rural development are as follows: 1. Agricultural development constitutes the crucial aspect of rural development. Agricultural development is possible through the use of better seeds, adequate fertilisers, manures, and pesticides, adequate supply of water and effective implementation of land reform measures. 2. The success of the rural development programmes depends on the co-operative orientation and attitude among the ruralites. The functioning of the co-operative societies goes a long way in improving the conditions of the vulnerable sections of the rural set-up. 3. Rural development programmes demand the active participation of the ruralites. While formulating these programmes the opinions, attitudes, drives and interests of the rural people should be taken into account. Further, dedicated and committed village leaders should come forward to guide the masses for bringing about rural development.
  • 27. Integrated Rural Development: It is claimed that the concept of Integrated Rural Development was originally propounded by the World Bank. In India the concept was put forward in the year 1976 at the All-India Science Congress by C. Subramanyam, the then Finance Minister of India. He viewed integrated rural development as “systematic, scientific and integrated use of all our natural resources and as a part of this process enabling every person to engage himself in a productive and socially useful occupation and earn an income that would meet at least the basic needs.” He holds the view that the use of natural resources is possible only through the application of science and technology. Further, proper application of science and technology results in the fulfilment of basic social needs. G. Parthasarathy refers to four ‘routes’ in the context of integrated rural development: (i) the institutional route of Gunnar Myrdal, (ii) the ‘New Economics’ route, (iii) the Neo- Marxian route and (iv) the Gandhian route. V.K.R.V. Rao defines integrated rural development as “the optimum utilization of the natural and human resources of a given rural area for the enrichment of the quality of life of the population.”
  • 28. The concept of integrated rural development addresses itself to various rural problems like widespread poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, exploitation, inequitable distribution of land, poor health conditions etc. It signifies that various facets of rural development are integrally connected. It is a holistic concept rather than a sequential one. K. Om Prakash and G. Satyanarayan rightly observe that integrated rural development embraces all the activities of enrichment and betterment of the overall quality of rural life through appropriate development of man power, resources, infrastructural facilities and provisions of minimum needs and livelihood. It has far-reaching socio-economic and political implications for the life of the ruralites.
  • 29. List of Government Schemes for Rural India The ministries of theGovernment of India have come up with various schemes from time to time. These schemes could be either Central, state specific or joint collaboration between the Centre and the states. They are detailed below: Schemes Date of Launch Sector Provisions Bachat Lamp Yojana 2009 Electrification reduce the cost ofcompact fluorescent lamps Central Government Health Scheme 1954 Health comprehensive medical care facilities to Central Government employees and their family members Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana 2015 Rural Power Supply It is a Government of India program aimed at providing 24x7 uninterrupted power supply to all homes in Rural India Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Grameen Kaushalya Yojna 2015 Rural Development It is a Government of India Project to engage rural youth specially BPL and SC/ST segment of population, in gainful employment through skill training programmes.

  • 31. CONCLUSION No doubt, villages are in a state of neglect and under-development, with impoverished people, as result of past legacies and defects in our planning process and investment pattern. But the potential in rural India is immense. What if every village in the country is provided with basic amenities, like drinking water, electricity, health care, educational transport, communication and other facilities, with only a smaller population of the village engaged in agriculture and the remaining in other gainful occupations? When this happens India will turn into mighty country. The purchasing power of the rural population throwing enormous demand for goods and services will boost the national economy tremendously. The day will see the reverse migration of people from the urban slums back to the villages. Rural Development is the subject to come to the forefront after the economic reforms and rural banking will serve the backbone of this development.
