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, friends, I think Villages are our strength. As we know that the for a business to run we need factors of production i.e, land, labor, capital. And villages have land, large number of labor and the capital which we opt to invest in cities could be invested here and hence a lot of profit could be made. The villagers are hard working and provide good quality work.

Factories can never ever be constructed in cities. It can only be constructed in villages.

Ever thought why this Jan Dhan Yojana, Atal Sadak Yojana, giving up of LPG subsidy has started?The answer is because the government knows the potential in villages and hence it is trying to nurture the villages so as to make the best out of it.

Also, India is an agriculture based country, and without villages where can we do agriculture practice. 60% of our population survive on agriculture and investing in villages, providing them with better equipment and infrastructure can lead to massive change and hence agriculture can be proved as an asset of Indian Economy.

Also, the environment over there is calm and cool away from the hustle and bustle of cities. Provides peace of mind, pure and fresh air and rejuvenates us.

Lastly, I would like to say that lack of education, lack of infrastructure and basic amenities is not the fault of villages but it is our faulty policies which are hampering the growth of potentials.

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.

Dear friends,

Yes, INDIAN VILLAGES ARE STRENGH to our country. They are not weak. They are strength to our country in many ways, they are like the day started by a person with milk TO the Dinner taken by a person before a sleep is all occurring from a production of villages only. And not only that today the country is running with a great leaders, where they are also a villagers. Ex: missile man of India-Dr. APJ. Abdul Kalam, Dr. Br. AmbedkarEtc. And not only leading but also in Education. Villagers are standing top positions by securing good ranks. They also standing in first position in bringing a good name to our nation as by participating in no of activities ex:Games. From all these how to we say they are weak for the country, NO. Villages are PRIDE to our nation. Only because of villages today our mandal areas are developing due to that districts are developing than it leads to developing of cities and then to states and this leads to a developing our NATION Still TODAY. Villages are playing vital role what we are today in our living conditions. So, friends let us respect our villagae and salute for villagers for their hard work in no. Of ways. Ex:farming. Finally a village is a place, which is a full of peace and values of relation.

Thank you, friends.

Hello, friends good morning to all of you.

According to me, our villages are the strength of our country but definitely, our villages need more funds.

From our government so that basic infrastructure can be built for education and health. Because as we all know education is the most important thing in everyone's life, so our villagers should have the opportunity to get an education. I think our villages have enough government school but what our village's schools are lacking is a quality educator.

Also, there are many superstitions in our villages.

All these things vanish from our villages ones our villagers get educated. What I mean by education is not only bookish education but also moral education.

Instead of having all these lacking, our villages are still the backbone of our country's economy. Besides these, in villages, you find a true sense of peace. In villages, you will never feel lonely because people are very social in villages. Also living in villages is economical than living in cities. In villages, you find everything in very pure whether it is water or air, fruits or vegetables.

Finally, I would like to say that our villages are our strength provided the government should focus more on villages education.

Thank you.

Hello, everyone this is Chetan.

As we all know that our honorable prime minister Modi ji has made a plan called smart cities. But I think cities are already smart so now lets concentrate to words villages. Let's Make a plan called smart villages. We all know that India is a 2nd largest populated country in the world so let's use this human resources for the development of the country. We youths are not useless we are just used less. Modi has made one promise before becoming prime minister of our country. That I will give full support for youths. But now what is your support sir? I'm not blaming you, sir I can understand. Being a PM how many problems you have to face but. Give India in youths hand. Then see what changes will be done. Everyone will say I want to be a doctor I want to be an engineer. But no one will say that I want to join politics. This is because of our worst political system. Now we youths are ready for everything sir just show us a way. Then the rest will be history. 100 Village can make 1 smart city. So why don't we make villages as a SMART villages? Then the world will be looking to words INDIA.

JAI HIND.

Indian villages are definitely the strength of India. Villages are home to farmers who provide us with food grains. The environment in villages is pollution free, unlike cities which is surrounded by pollutants in the atmosphere. The calm and serene weather in villages refreshes one's mind. It has also been said that the real India resides in villages. The villagers are the most hardworking people. But of course, there are shortcomings which need to be addressed. There is a dearth of basic infrastructure in villages. The primary schools are not up to the mark. People find it difficult to avail a loan. There is lack of irrigation facilities. There is a dearth of all-weather roads. People are illiterate. They are also highly superstitious. But all of these problems can be tackled if we pay attention to our villages. There is an urgent need for good quality schools, primary health care units, financial literacy among other needs. There is huge untapped potential in villages. If we address these issues with a sense of maturity, the day is not far when villages will flourish more vibrantly.

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.

Hello, friends.

If your target to see real India than just visit villages of India - M K Gandhi.

As my point of view, villages are a real strength of India because of the still in 2018, 58% Indian leaving in villages of India. And Farming is provided 50% Indian to livelihood. Villages are aliment for India, Also produce 50% raw material for India.

Now, in another point of view, if you see the portion of farming in total GDP of India than it's only 15%, it means that the 50% people give only that much continuation for Indian economy. ! First we understand why? Because of the over villages have can't primary facilities like drinking water, electricity, education, infrastructure. So if over target to make strong India first provide proper education to Villages.

If education is their development is their, if development is their than money is their, if money is their than they buy modern technology at Village s for farming. And increase the total output of farming then Indian economy will be stronger, and we say that villages are real strength of India.

Hai to everyone. India is developing country all people can know this. But also all are also know about why India is called as developing country. In my view India is developing country is why because of developing of villages. All may your know that village but you may also know to recognise that developing of villages only leads to cities then only this cities came. Only independently these cities are not formed. Cities formed by villages. People are living in the world so all the people first live in forests then the developing of human being can establish this village. In society, all aging parents are on road and in some old age homes etc. They are living. All parents are not living in their homes because of their children this child can think these old parents are not useful to us. So in this way parents are homeless. In the children behaviour on that age is like that. But in certain age, they know their parents value on that day they realise. So villagers are our parents so don't keep aside. Think smartly go anyway brightly. Thanks.
