Rural development is a complex process that aims to improve living conditions in rural areas. It requires integrated efforts across sectors like infrastructure, public services, health, education, employment and standard of living. While the government and private sector have undertaken development initiatives, rural areas still lag significantly behind cities in these areas. Effective rural development strategies require addressing issues like inadequate infrastructure, lack of opportunities, traditional mindsets, and ensuring balanced growth between rural and urban regions.

5. OVERVIEW
• Our economy is developing fast, Industries and
big corporate are going globalised, with
liberalization, tremendous changes are being felt
in IT, manufacturing, Service sector, but nobody
thinks of the rural development to make it as
fast as in these sectors.
• Then what all this progress and development
means? Benefitting to 30% in the total
population, already developed and above poverty
does not mean any development.
6. SOME QUESTIONS THAT TAKE YOU MORE DEEP
IN TOPIC.
(For us this are the MOTIVATIONAL QUESTIONS
for selecting this topic )
7. QUESTION : 1
• While we have international fully air
conditioned schools in our cities, the schools
in villages still don’t have benches and chairs,
leave alone computers. We have a huge
shortage of teachers in rural areas, and the
school drop out rate is huge.
WHY RURAL AREAS LAG BEHIND CITIES BY
DECADES?
8. QUESTION : 2
• In cities, we have wide roads, flyovers and
underpasses while many villages still don’t
have proper roads. Urban-rural road links can
play a vital role in rural growth.
WHY RURAL AREAS LAG BEHIND CITIES IN
GROWTH ?
9. QUESTION : 3
• Employment opportunities are hardly there
in villages which forces youth to move to
cities creating imbalance in the ecosystem and
leaving the villages deprived.
WHY LACK OF OPPORTUNITY IN RURAL AREA ?
10. QUESTION : 4
• While we may have numerous hospitals,
nursing homes and medical facilities in cities,
villages neither have health awareness nor
health facilities.
• Many of villagers have to flock to cities for
even basic treatments.
WHY RISING DISCONNECT BETWEEN CITIES
AND VILLAGES ?
11. And Many More QUESTIONS like..
• Proper land reforms
• Rural credit
• Electrification
• Many more Questions & this Story Continues
from decades…….

population of thousand (500 in
case of hilly or tribal areas)
with all weather roads by 2009
• lead to rural employment
opportunities, better access to
regulated and fair market,
better access to health,
education and other public
services

and pave the path of economic
growth.
19. Indira Awas Yojana (IAY)
• Since 1985-86 to help build or
upgrade homes to householdsbelow
the poverty line

under the IAY currently is Rs. 25,000/-
per unit for the plain areas and
Rs.27,500/- for the hilly
terrains/difficult areas.
• To impart transparency to the
selection process of beneficiaries, a
'permanent waitlist' was prepared
under IAY.
• 60 lakh houses were to be
constructed in a period of 4 year
from 2005-06
• Against this overall target, 15.52 lakh
were built in 2005-06 and 14.98 lakh
homes in 2006-07
20. Accelerated Rural Water Supply
Programme
• Central government
ARWSP
supplements States’ efforts for
providing safe drinking water
and sanitation by providing
financial and technical
assistance under two centrally
sponsored programmes
– 'Accelerated Rural Water
Supply' (ARWSP)
– 'Central Rural Sanitation
Programme' (CRSP).
– By 2009, 55,067 uncovered,
3.31 lakh slipped back and 2.17
lakh quality affected
habitations are to be addressed
– approximately 6 lakhs
habitations where water supply
is a problem to be covered

There is unequal distribution of national income.

29. Rural development is a process of qualitative and quantitative changes to
improve conditions in rural regions. Such a process needs to be an
integrated programme where all aspects of rural life should be taken into
account.
Promotion and encouragement to the private sector players by the
Indian Government as a result of which both the public and private sector
has made considerable efforts for the upliftment of the rural sector in India
which has resulted in ethical, social and environmental benefits. Playing the
role as a motivator, and a facilitator, the Government had undertaken a
number of development initiatives for the rural India.
With a vision to create an excellent rural infrastructure on the back of
transport and telecommunication facilities, provision of education and
medical facilities to all rural households, it is important that the threads be
woven together in order to reflect the utmost significance of rural sector for
the growth Indian economy.

Rural development is a dynamic process, which is mainly concerned with the rural areas. These include-Agricultural growth, putting up of economic and social infrastructure, fair wages as also housing and house sites for the landless, village planning, public health, education and functional literacy, communication etc.Rural development is a national necessity and has considerable importance in India Improving agriculture is a must for industrialisation. Agriculture is carried on in villages, so rural development is needed to improve agriculture.2. Industry needs a literate labour force. But most of the people live in villages (70% in India). So rural development is needed to increase the education level of the majority of the population.3. Finally, rural development is needed to reduce the migrationof people from villages to cities. The current rate of rural-to-urban migration in India is unsustainable. It is much more than the rate at which industrial jobs and urban infrastructure are growing. So rural development is a must to slow down the rural-to-urban migration.
