Indian villages - our strength or our weakness?

It's my first time to participate in online group discussion. My English is not good so please forgive me for my mistakes help me to improve.

According to the topic about Indian villages first of all.

I want to introduce myself that I am also a village live in a small village in Himachal Pradesh.

Villages are the heart of the country because our country depends on upon villages. The most important things to survive like air water and soil villages are also important. All types of grains crop food material provided by the villagers. If these people do not farm then how all Urban's can survive if these people think that we have also gone for a good job and instead of farming open a showroom on his land then how the dependents getting their needs if villages took the shape of cities then how we will get crops n other product they lead to our economic strength. The farmer stops farming because they do not get good prices. They work hard but fail to get actual prices. Corrupted peoples took their own benefits. So we have to appreciate the villages. These are our strength.

According to my says, the village is the place from where we earn our ethics, our "Sanskar" which is not in today's children's. A fact is that we get the mental peace from that village only there is no place of relaxation by this metro city or mega cities fast working lives.

Hi to all! my opinion about this topic as Indian village - strength or weakness? is that I think is our strength because of Agriculture is a totally depend on village. Because as compare to city, in village pollution is less.

I think we want to develop villages for people's future it means school facility as well as hospitality also road facility, electricity.

I want to say that villages are the heart for a nation because we know that heart is main essential part to human beings without a man cannot live likewise without villages a country won't.

As we know that we get rice from villages only, it is the main item we eat always, and we also get a lot of fresh air, the climate is cool with a lot of trees. In villages, people are in unity.

Hi, friends, this is Amrutha.

In my point of view villages are strength for our country. Without villages we doesn't eat food. Because villagers are doing forming then we can get food. In villages one of the gift from god to us. Villages are boon to our country. In India 70% of people survive in villages. Villages need cities but villages grow from cities.

Villages are the important one for the development of India. In which farmers are making India as powerful by agriculture. Moreover, India's real culture is there only. But in city sides, we can't see that cultures.

Then city side, there is always noise pollution and it affects all. But in our villages, there is clean air and it does not make any effects. So villages are the backbone of the India.

My dear friends as I hail from the village.

The village is the strength of India as a few days back agriculture contributed to India's GDP 75% but there is no denying the fact that the contribution towards the GDP is decaying per year as 13.5% in 2013. India is the 2nd largest producer of dry fruit in the world and is exporting its agriculture product to more than 100 countries. If we look towards the defence 70% villagers youth is contributing to serving the nation. Now the point of concern about the villages of India is the lack of facilities to youths like Educational institute, Hospitals, youth development institutes and to the farmers the lack of awareness of new technology etc. Coming to a conclusion the villagers are simple and their surrounds are the lack of facilities. If the government provides equal facilities to urban areas the villagers will be the strength of the country.

Hi friends, myself Divya.

Indian villages are play a crucial role in country development. Villages are very helpful for us. It provides food etc. The good Indian culture is developed from villages. It develops our economic position. It is our strength as well as weakness. The main reason of weakness is poverty, illiteracy.

Finally, if we help in improvement of village, indirectly we help our nation.

For,

- Indian Villages where actual India lives is our greatest strength.

- We all who are living in metropolitan cities are dependent on them for our living.

- India is an agricultural country and 70% of the population who are engaged in this profession are living in villages.

- Many of us who are now living in metropolitan cities are originally coming from villages.

- All the well-known names like Ratan Tata, Lakshmi Mittal, Dhiru Bhai Ambani etc who have made a mark in the world have also come from the Indian villages.

- There are many talented and bright minds in Indian villages who have the capability to change the face of India.

- Villages are the backbone of India without them India might have to face food shortage. All other industries are also dependent on villages for their raw materials.

- The production units of any big company are found at some small places owing to the low cost of infrastructure and abundance of labour.

Against,

- The level of education in Indian villages is very low.

- There are less number of job opportunities in villages.

- As the whole word is technologically advanced but Indian villages are still lacking in this area.

Our Indian villages can be our greatest strength if the rural markets and the kind of talent available there are capitalized in a proper way. The government should take steps in order to improve the condition of Indian villages because the development in Indian villages will change the face of India.

Hi, here Ganesh.

I think our nation village is our strength. Because every person was connected to the village for any reason is directly or indirectly. If we support the village development about road, education, technology, agriculture, political, medical. Such different fields then the automatically the nation will develop.

So keep help to village development by the government. Thanking all.
