First and foremost, India is made up of villages. They are the backbone of the nation as agriculture plays a vital role in these villages. Apart from these villages are not prioritized at any cost. They were pushed out of their traditional work and are more uncivilized to this scientific work. They are helpless in this regard. However, Government does not take necessary measures to support farmers. They support whole-heartedly to the upcoming industries.
Finally, it is advisable to ensure proper infrastructures are done to the farmers.

Hi friends,
According to me, villages are the strength of our country.
But in several villages, the 'Katta panchayat' system hides several vices which are against women from public view. But a village which is free from social vices will definitely be the strength of our country.

According to me, villages are our strength. They provide food which is very healthy and pure compared to other countries. Developing villages are big boon to INDIA. Village people are good, innocent, ethical and physically healthy people compared with cities. Pollution also very less and fresh air which is now disappearing from cities. Finally according to my survey villages are boon to INDIA.

It is to be noted that everything has some good. It could be a strength or a weakness.
Stressing the point of village, it is worthy to say villages are backbone of economy, which is backbone of INDIA.

Villages- strength or weakness of India.
Even after 65 years of independence, India is highly an agriculture based nation. As per the 2011 census, there exist 6.38 lakh villages comprising 72.20% of total population of India. Earlier villages are considered as the places with unpolluted air, lush green fields and diverse animal species like cattle, sheep, ducks etc. The sunrise and sunset in these villages will show the best scenic beauties of nature. But these days villages are losing its sheen because of natural calamities and improper government policies.
Some of the major problems of Indian villages are:
Healthcare facilities:
In India, most of the villages don't possess even a small hospital. The people in these places have to run to nearby towns or cities to receive treatment or medicines. Because of the shortage of hospitals and qualified medical professionals several diseases which can be prevented are still prevalent in India. Even though Indian pharmaceutical industry has been growing by leaps and bounds, the availability of medicines are still not within the reach of common man.
Educational facilities:.
Recently the Government of India declared education as a fundamental right to all the children of India who are below 14 years of age. Many villages don't possess schools and some villages possess schools with mud walls, which fall to rains in every rainy season or schools with improper sanitation facilities. The children need to walk several kilometers to study. Some schools will not receive text books by the end of the academic year. Even though the central government introduced schemes like Afternoon Meals and Sarva Shiksa Abiyaan are not reducing this problem because of their in effective implementation.
Infrastructure facilities:
Agriculture sector is the top employment provider in India followed by retail sector and cattle rearing (dairy farms and poultry). Indian agriculture is highly monsoon dependent and in order to reduce the monsoon dependency, a plan to interconnect all the rivers of India was proposed. That plan is still not implemented. Along with natural calamities like floods and draught, the policies of government are also making farming a loss making profession. On one hand the prices of seeds and fertilizers are rising and on the other hand the support prices for the agricultural products are falling. Even though government of India has been providing financial support through loans from banks, they are not providing a platform to reap benefits or to make profits of the products produced by them. The recommendations of Mr. Swaminathan committee (i. E. To provide a support price for every product such that farmers make an income of 50%) are still in pending for approval.
Industrial sector influence:
In order to make agriculture profitable, the measures that are to be taken are:
1. Posting agriculture researchers and engineers in villages to teach the modern techniques of agriculture to farmers.
2. Conducting soil tests and informing farmers about the crops that suits best for their soil and encouraging organic farming in their fields.
3. Mechanization of the farming equipment with tractors.
4. Providing sufficient support prices for the agriculture products.
Conclusion.
As all these aspects are painting the village side of India as a gloomy one where huge amounts of wealth used to be there in the past, if the agriculture sector of India is revived by providing proper infrastructure facilities villages turn out to be the real strength of our nation.

I would like to tell that villages are the strength of our country.
Reason:most of the people live in villages and are dependent on agriculture. Many people are engaged in agriculture sector so that the food needs are met in a good way. And the people in villages have an immense curiosity to learn about new things. The main problems in villages are unemployment, poverty and illiteracy. If we change the mind set of the people in villages and guide them to go in right direction surely India can become a developed country in less time.

VILLAGES - STRENGTHS AND WEAKNESS.
In India, there are almost above 6.5 lakhs of villages which are the main source of Indian economy that is to with agriculture which has a vital role. Villages are big boon and strength to India. People in the village are very innocent, ethical and physically healthy.
Villages have less population unlike cities they have very free area to cultivate and many have fertile lands whereas in cities all lands are polluted with increase in population. Increase in population in certain place increase problems, for example, shelter, food, resources, etc.
Village people have good relationships, equality and unity. For an instance, if one stranger is in a village he will be treated and be helpful to him/her. They will be satisfied with what they are that is content.
Agriculture is the main occupation in villages. Many required food items are being produced from villages. To an extent people in village are content. But when a situation arise that which enables them to survive people migrate.
The main consequences are:
- Unemployment.
- Being poor.
- Illiterate.
- Lack of facilities (transportation infrastructure, hospitals electricity etc).
- Lack of help from the government.
- Belief in getting good jobs in cities.
- Lack of technology.
These are some reasons for villages having weakness. People innocence in villages are becoming the strengths of cities or politicians and some others. We the people from rural areas have a responsibility of not only being educated but also educating our ow village at least.
Some general solutions to overcome these problems are creating awareness through conducting programmes. Specifically, we have to initiate it in our village forming some groups with commitment.
Becoming a digital world some apps are to be created such that every new technique for helping people or increase their productivity can be updated.
The problem of unemployment can also be solved to an extent if government start a committee of people developed in different fields and start people educating about these things. Government should improve the technology in villages, richest in cities can adopt villages, educated people from villages can go back to their village implementing some sophisticated technologies.
Developing villages by constructing schools, roads, hospitals, water tank, sanitation facilities and some other productive things. A direct trade of farmers with customers is very essential nowadays.
Finally, the impact of creating awareness in people changes the mode of village where everything comes with village.
RICHNESS OF INDIA IS IN VILLAGES, BUT THE RICHEST ARE IN CITIES.

Villages are our weakness. It is a sign of incomplete development. People just say that it is our strength just because it gives us fresh air etc.
What about illiteracy?
The people in villages also have the right to study.
They also wish to say in a society like us where decisions are not taken due to poverty.
It is the weakest part of our country.
It is a place with incomplete facilities like water shortage etc.
If village people start to develop, start to study in private schools. Then just think how much our lovely country will rise.
People from villages will go to other countries and thus slowly the economy of the country will change.
With this villages should be developed!

INDIAN VILLAGES ARE OUR WEAKNESS.
There exists illiteracy, unemployment, lack of water supply also electric supply, poverty, lack of knowledge, population no birth control, infant morality rate is high, no proper sanitation, ventilation, no proper houses etc.
If people of villages join their hands can become successful.
They don't have guts to move forward and think big also they don't have that support to think bigger but if they start thinking they will get success.
Indian villages are the reason our country is still developing.
If all villages get developed our country then nowhere behind to become developed from developing country.
Many people from the village have become came up and become a millionaire or you have an example like A daughter of an auto rickshaw driver has Become CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT. Etc.
So develop VILLAGES develop INDIA.
Thankyou.
