The Present Scenario of Rural Development of India

India was a British colony. On 15th August India earned his independence. Since independence, India had many problems. Political problem is one of the major issue after independence. On the other hand India also has many internal problems. Different communities with different identities demanded different rights for their communities. In 1950 Government set up a planning commission to build up a proper economical development for India. After independence India has adopted a mixed economy as economic development policy . In 1947 47% population was under below poverty line. In 1964-64 this situation went up again in 1977-78 again went up. But presently world bank estimates that a third of the global poor reside in India. Agriculture is the main key factor for developing any country. But the level of productivity of agriculture in India is very much poor according to it’s population. The population during the last 45 years has increased at the rate of 2.2% per annum.

The improper utilization of human resource is one of the main reason behind the poverty of India. The continuous and steep price rise has added to the miseries of poor. But in modern situation corruption is one of the biggest problem of our country and is one of the biggest reason for poverty in India the corrupted leaders etc had eaten up all the money of our country. The big relationship exists between rural development and poverty. Agricultural sector can play in rural development, poverty as well as overall development. Rural development is a policy to develop the standard of living in non-urban neighborhoods, countryside and remote villages. Education, food and shelter are three major requirement for every citizen of India whether a child resides in a high profile society or in a far away not so developed secluded village. Schools in rural areas are promoted to raise the level of education and literacy in rural India. There are very few schools are in rural areas in India. These school provide uniform, food to enhance basic education. There are few major differences between urban education and rural education. Urban education is more advanced than rural education. School infrastructure of urban education is more developed than rural education. Rural schools are less advanced than urban schools. But most of the people belong to very lower middle class family. So most of the time they can’t provide education to their children. From this point of view child labor arise. Child labor is not the child work. Child work may also enhance the growth of the mental, physical of the child labor. Mainly ignorance of education of a parents and unemployment are two main issue behind the child labor. The proper increment of family income, basic education that helps children to build up a successful carrier and the family control of fertility are the three major solution to recover our society from this big issue. So rural development depends on all these factors. For a long years most of the Indian ngo are committed to social justice, sustainable development and human rights. The right to communicate freely is a basic human right and a necessity for sustainable development. So it is our moral responsibility to donate to ngo to help underprivileged people of rural areas.
