               How can we develop villages?

Villages!The word creates in our mind a view of primitive areas in a country. Indian villages! Poverty, hunger, hardship, revolt, illiteracy- so they are. Some villages are worse while the others are worst. Such villages need to be developed. Primely, different ways to induce more employment must be installed. Employment is the precondition for eradication of poverty. For employment, there is a necessity for industries to emerge in this arena. Government must show interest in developing industries in rural and remote areas. Private companies/Individuals who begin factories here can be given extra funds as a token of encouragement. Better implementation of schemes and policies like the 100 day employment scheme will have a great impact on the rapid development of villages. Transport is the backbone of economic development. Constructing all seasonal motorable roads will make the transport process of goods easier, quicker and better. Looking into road development schemes like the Pradhan Mantri Grameen Sadak Yojana which makes it compulsory for every village to be connected to a major city in the country by better roads and their better functioning can raise the standards of our villages. Yet another important thing to be eradicated by traditional villages is illiteracy. Government schools which give good education must be opened. Private schools too must come up. Child labour, more common in villages must disappear. Banks and cooperatives need to lend more. Only then will people get timely loans for all purposes, right from starting an enterprise to education. Rich people and companies can adopt villages. Even middle class families can help develop villages by supporting NGO’s that support villagers. Villagers are  mostly dependent on agriculture. Increasing subsidy rates have the capacity to see the cash income of farmers increase. Educating young children in these regions is another major step to launch the underdeveloped villages forward. When crops fail due to pests or lack of rainfall then, the government must provide the peasants with money which equals the value of the actual produce.
