Indian Villages Are Our Strength

Or
Weakness.
INDIAN VILLAGE:
The soul of India live in its village
-M.K. Gandhi
India is land of villages. There are more than 6,40,000
villages in India.
According to 2011 census, more than 68.48% people
live in villages. They depend mostly on Agriculture,
Small Scale Industries.

Indian villages are our strength:

In villages Rice, Wheat, and all the Grains are
produced. Villages are the backbone of India.
Ecological balance is maintaining by villages,
because of the environment of villages.
Indias economy depends a lot upon agriculture
sector.
India is well known for its traditional & cultural
values, which can be seen more in villages.
In villages, people have peaceful life compared to
people of cities.
Village people have more unity, helping nature,
hardworking nature.
In villages, Health will be good because of the
consumption of natural food and good
environment.
Once, India was called as Golden Bird due to
villages.

 Today, agriculture contributes only about 23% to

GDP while during independence, it contributed
more than 60%.

Indian villages are our weakness:

Illiteracy rate is high in villages.

Poverty lies more in villages.
Unemployment lies more in villages.
Lack of water facility, transport facility, educational
institutes.
Increase in population
because of high illiteracy rate in villages.

Infant mortality rate is high because of illiteracy.

The health infrastructure in villages is very low
despite of the high vulnerability of village folks to
diseases and health disorder.

Conclusion:

Villages are definitely an important part of our

economy with more than 70% of the population
living in villages. They are responsible for the
production of food, milk, and milk products without
which our country will not able to survive.

The presence of industries in villages adds to the

fact that they are the centers of economic activity.
Such important villages have to be our strength for
our country to develop rapidly. But many hurdles
have stopped this from happening.
Government should provide loans and provide
them chance to sell their products directly to
costumers.

 Government should concern about education and

basic needs of village people.
Villages are definitely our strength. But because of
less support for agriculture, village people are
migrating to cities.
