Indian villages - our strength or our weakness?

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.

JAI HINDH.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Villages are both our strength and weakness of India. So many youths come from villages. Because of the poverty and unemployment. There are not get any facilities for their education. Parents force to do a job. But there is no employment. They do not know WHAT TO DO? so government provide to employment in every village.

Indian villages our strength.

Because of food and material all comes from villages and the aximum farm is in villages.

In India, there are many villages so that only we are eating good and quality food otherwise we cannot eat food at all so my opinion is villages are strength for India.

Indian villages are our strength. Many farmers are or poor people depend on Thier work to survive. They had only one job in the village that is agriculture. Farmers are the backbone of India, not agriculture because they are only producing the grains for us. Farmer is only god and we should respect them.

Thanks for reading.

Indian village is the best place then cities. There are less pollutions. They follow all beliefs. We can cultivate crops etc.
