Indian villages - our strength or our weakness?

According to my point of view, Our basic need is food. In India, 52%of employment is based on agriculture.

Agriculture is a major part of the GDP in India.

Hello Everyone.

My name is Subhashini.

Today our topic is about Indian villages is our strengths or weaknesses.

Indian villages can be seen as both a strength and a weakness, depending on the perspective and context. Here are some points to consider:

Strengths:

1. Cultural Heritage: Indian villages are rich in cultural heritage, traditions, and practices that have been preserved for generations. They showcase the diversity and uniqueness of India's cultural fabric.
2. Natural Environment: Villages are generally less polluted and have a closer connection to nature, promoting a healthier lifestyle and preserving natural resources and biodiversity.

Weakness:
1. Lack of Infrastructure: Many villages suffer from inadequate infrastructure, including poor roads, unreliable electricity, and insufficient water supply, which hampers economic development and quality of life.
2. Limited Access to Education and Healthcare: Educational facilities and healthcare services are often underdeveloped in villages, leading to lower literacy rates, poor health outcomes, and limited opportunities for upward mobility.
3. Economic Challenges: Villages may face economic challenges due to limited job opportunities, low-income levels, and lack of access to markets. This can lead to poverty and migration to urban areas in search of better opportunities.

Conclusion:
Indian villages can be seen as a strength due to their cultural richness, agricultural importance, and community spirit. However, they also face significant challenges, particularly in terms of infrastructure, education, healthcare, and economic opportunities. With targeted development policies, investment, and modernization efforts, the strengths of Indian villages can be enhanced, and their weaknesses can be addressed, leading to more balanced and inclusive growth for the entire country.

Hello,

Indian villages are the heart of our country, They are vital to India’s identity and have many strengths that contribute to the nation’s overall development.

Villages are the backbone of India’s agriculture. Most of our food, including grains, vegetables, fruits, and dairy, comes from these villages. This not only supports the country’s food supply but also provides jobs and income for millions of people.

Indian villages preserve our rich cultural heritage. Traditions, festivals, music, dance, and crafts are kept alive in these rural areas. This cultural richness adds to the unique identity of India.

Villages are known for their strong sense of community. People in villages live closely together and support each other in times of need. This strong bond creates a supportive environment where everyone looks out for one another. Such social ties improve the quality of life and provide emotional and mental support.

Villages are often surrounded by nature, with fields, forests, rivers, and hills. This natural environment offers a clean and healthy lifestyle, unlike the polluted urban areas. Living close to nature also brings peace and there are many other points to say that villages are the strength of India, Indian villages are indeed our strength.

Thank you.

Hello everyone, I'm Asaraful Shaikh.

According to me, Indian villages are our strengths as well as weakness.

First, see how Indian villages are our strength:

Villages are the backbone of India because most of the food crops come from the villages. So literally, villages are feeding everyone.

Indian villages are repositories of India's rich cultural heritage. They are home to various art forms, crafts, music, and traditional practices that are an integral part of Indian culture.

Around 43% of the Indian population was employed in the agricultural sector as per 2020-21 data. 4. Also agriculture sector generates 33% of the GDP. That is the third highest GDP generator after the service and Industry sector.

Now, See the weakness of Indian villages:

Education and Literacy rate: Education makes people independent, and builds confidence and self-esteem, which is very important for the development of a country. In India, the Literacy rate among persons (aged 7 years and above) is about 77.7 percent. In rural areas, the literacy rate was 73.5 percent as compared to 87. 7% in urban areas.

Economic Challenges: Indian villages face significant economic challenges, including a lack of access to quality education, healthcare, and employment opportunities. This leads to poverty and underdevelopment.

Conclusion :
Indian villages play a crucial role in supporting the country's population through agricultural production, preserving cultural heritage, and being a significant source of employment and GDP generation. Uneducation is the only thing that prevents India from becoming a developing country. As I said in rural areas the education rate is low as compared to urban areas. If a good quality of education is not provided to villagers, definitely, Indian villages will definitely become resistant to the development of India.

Hello Everyone,

Today our Group discussion topic is the INDIAN VILLAGE'S OUR STRENGTH OR WEEKNESESS?

I'm talking about both aspects because of the villages are the powerful backbone of India. India has more than 70% we can say the raw material providing the villages with farming, the maximum level of farming in the villages. In the village, agriculture is the first Preference will be given to the farmer because they don't have other options so when they have developed the farming like organic farming but they will be selling in low of cost prices they don't have any Infrastructure so this is the major issue of the villages lack of infrastructure they can't increase their income in villages there are not proper internet connection and hospitality Best of educational facilities in compare to city's but the major fact is our India's population our Country in the world 2nd number so with the help of people we can develop our village like "smart village" when our village will be developed then our country will be full develop country.

Hi,

Indian villages are definitely our strength if appropriately utilized. I will explain to you how:

1. Companies like ZOHO have started their operations in villages and become a huge successes so what is the difference:: People like Sridhar Vembu who are from villages and well-educated wanted to start their dream companies in their villages. Yes, turning a village into a commercial business hub is hard but not impossible. Commercial means it can happen in agricultural commodity business for ex: Honey, Fish farming, and export of Agri commodities directly from village to port with no intermediaries.

2. Education may not be reaching many parts but in most rural areas today education is accessible what's happening is people are leaving for bigger cities so the government has introduced many schemes for MSME and small-scale industries. So if tailor-based education is given to the graduates of villages regarding business and Mentoring needs to happen to such graduates regarding useful schemes and loans then yes we can definitely see change.

3. AMUL started its operations in a village now we can see where its conglomerates are. I mean there are many such instances so if we utilize villages properly let me tell you the advantages:

A. Less cost of capital compared to cities.

B. Reduced Pollution in villages when compared to cities.

C. We can beat economies like china in terms of the small-scale industrial revolution.

I want to conclude by saying that if villages are utilized properly then yes they can beat urban GDP and they will really become the backbone of the country.

Hello everyone.

My name is Rajdeep Kumar.

Today, the given topic is Indian village our strength or our weakness.

In my points of view, the Indian village is our strength not our weakness, most of people lives in villages in Indian economy Indian village plays a important role our economy,

1. Our economy engaged in primary sector in comparison to two other sectors secondary and tertiary.

2. Export agriculture products world wide.

3. Increase employment in primary sector.

4. They are hard working compared to people in urban areas.

Conclusion:- in my opinion Indian village is our strength it helps to growth of GDP, but villages are not devloped in comparison to urban we need to educate people of village we need to built some instafructure in villages areas now a days India growing up day by day because of main reason Indian village if village devloped well then one day India will also became devloped country.

Thank you.

Hello Friends,

In my opinion, of course, villages are our strength as our economy is primarily based on the Agriculture sector and Agriculture along with fisheries and forestry account for about one-third of the country's GDP.

And instead of looking at our villages as weaknesses, we should see them as a field where we do have immense opportunities for development. If we succeed to bring our villages into the ongoing start-up and business boom they could prove to be the best asset to the Indian economy.

Besides this Indian villages also possess rich cultural diversity with so many customs and traditions being practised in a beautiful way.

Village are definitely our strength. But because of less support for agriculture, village people are migrating to cities. Government should provide loans and insurance for agriculture. Government should provide them chance to sell their product directly to customers and government should concern about education and basic needs to village people.

Thank You.

Indian villages definitely our strength because 90% of aggriculture is in villages. M.K. Gandhi said one word about villages that is If you target to see real Indians then just visit villages of India. But it also has weak points but nowadays it reducing. The Indian villages become our strength when we give strength to villages.

Than you.
