Introduction

The soul of India lives in its Villages.

Villages form the heart of any nation; when we respect its tradition and culture, we
can understand the valuable heritage which our nation possesses.
The village life in every state forms the backbone of their state in the Indian scenario.
More than half of the population and more than 70% of the India's poor are to be
found in Rural areas where Hunger, illiteracy, low school achievement are more.
Developing a large number of people in Rural areas is crucial for
achieving sustainable development and to survive our cultural heritage.
