Life of rural India, its problems and solutions

Introduction

Rural Life refers to the life of the people living as small groups in rural areas.
Our Father of Nation Mahatma Gandhiji once said that India lives primarily in villages. But when we talk of India’s progress or achievement, we only think of the standard of living in cities. Consequently the cities are flourishing and the villages are going down day by day.

Problems of village life:

At present, the condition of the life of the people living in villages is not up to the mark . The problems of our villagers are many and varied.

• Villagers in India are very poor because they have to even struggle for basic necessities and amenities like food, cloths, school, hospital, roads etc.

• The condition of village schools is not satisfactory. Some of them funded by government they are failed to deliver expected outcomes.

• Moreover, the villagers don’t understand the importance of education. As in their day to day life education is not much relevant. They think education as irrelevant thing.

• Mostly earning the bred for survival is the objective of people in rural India. Hence a large number of people are engaged in economic activities, mainly agriculture.

• Rural India is not aware about the laws and regulations of India due to no/lack of education.

• Villagers are not health conscious.

Solutions for uplifting villages and villagers

To solve these issues we the people of India with the help of government and local bodies have to come forward. Various programs needs to be planned and implemented effectively.

1. Mass education should be spread by establishing more primary and secondary schools. It must be made both compulsory and free (as till now they are not much cautious about education they wont be interested if we charge them). Also educators' needs to keep more attention on the skills and interest of these people so that they can excel in their interested areas.

2. As said earlier many villagers are struggling to get bred for survival in a day. So they don't have day time to spend to get education. To solve this issue government should organize night schools for the illiterate adults to teach them to read and write.

3. Irrespective of vote share from the village, each and every village shall be treated equally. Roads and other means of communication in the village should be improved. So that rural India become accessible to urban area. Which will also enable to develop backward area through infrastructural development.

4. Cottage industries should be revived and agriculture should be modernized.

5. Villages should be electrified to remove the depressing darkness of rural night.

6. Villagers should be educated regarding elementary hygiene and scientific method of cultivation which will unable those villages to earn money for their development with less resources.

7. Every Block should have a hospital or a primary health centre for priding medical aids to the villagers.

8. Rural banking should be set up for financial assistance to the village people. As we are aware banking services are not reached in many villages till now. To increase banking habit among these people nationalized banks, RBI, NABARD etc. needs to take initiatives for the same.

Conclusion

In recent years the Central and the State Governments have taken some steps to improve the condition of the villagers. The village Panchayat and the Co-operative Credit Societies are two important factors in this respect. All these will strengthen rural economy and make villages not only habitable but also attractive and prosperous. Still many villages are lacking in being developed so such villages needs to be bought on the track of development.
