Indian villages - our strength or our weakness?

Hello friends, I'm Nish Babar.

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

First, we see how Indian villages become a strength for us:

1) Our economy engaged in primary sector compare to other two sectors like secondary & tertiary.
2)Raw material production.
3) Export agriculture products worldwide.
4) Increases employment in the primary sector.
5) Promote self-Help groups.
6) Become people self-reliant.

Now how Indian villages are a weakness of our economy-:
1) Lack of education.
2) Rural development is a major challenge facing our country.
3) Poverty.
4) Lack of awareness about government schemes so no development.
5) Infrastructure not developed.
6)Old culture and tradition so no modernization & increases superstition among people.
7) Population increases

There are schemes such as Gram IT aimed to improve the IT facilities in villages. Despite all these, we must not forget that the villages are centers of economic activity and economy.

India is largely dependent on villages as most of the industries are located here. Villages also stand as a symbol of traditional and cultural values that India is known for.

Villages help in the growth of Indian economy. 90% people of India live in villages. This means major strength of India lies on rural India only.

According to me, India villages are both strength and weakness because there are 70%of people who are farmer this is a good thing and bad also The good thing is India is a developing country and these farmers are the backbone of the country due to them only we are able to get food and without food we are not able to survive and in City people want live in the area where we are not able to do such exciting things which we can do in villages I am really proud that I live in village in village we can live in fresh areas no dust or no pollution and we can climb in trees, swim in ponds river etc. Now while learning these things you are able to know that it is both strength and weakness Thanks, friends.

Hello, Everyone,

In my point of view, villages are a weakness to our society as villages in India don't get the necessary amount of resources for their development such as they don't have good infrastructure nor good schools neither do they have a good internet connection so they are mostly cutoff from the outside fast growing world. No doubt villages are the backbone to our Indian Culture but the people residing over there lack basic amenities. Most of the villages are farmers so steps should be taken to inculcate modern machinery so that these people won't face any difficulty while striving for their basic needs.

Hello everyone,

From my point of view, villages are the root of the development of our country. As Mr Gandhi said that the" real India resides in villages". As the more than 70% of our population lived in villages they have a vast potential for the development of country. Country can not develop without the development of the villages. The growth of any economy directly link with the growth of its villages. So the villages have a lot of unexploited potential in the terms of consumer, raw material, human resource as well.

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.

Hi everyone.

In my opinion, there is not a debate topic because all persons know this we are not the imagination of a country without a village. Think about this if all villagers sifted in city for employment so woh will feed the whole country without agriculture. So, if the village had not developed of any country than the country is also not develop. So, our life is dependent on the village. We should give the respect of villagers and village.

Thank you.

The culture of villages is better than cities, I think. Because in villages peoples follow old tradition it is proud of India. Villagers think a lot about our country or try to make India powerful. That's why villagers are more in the army they think whole country and one day they lost their life for the country but in cities persons are afraid to death. That is the villager strength of our country India.

I hope you like this.

Thanks.

Hi every,

India is democratic country. I think all will agree with it, right?

Villages of India are strength to country as well as weakness. You may all think how villages are weakness to our country, right?I will share my opinion then you can say villages are weakness to our country or not?

We may all know villages are beautiful, they provide food, festivals are celebrating in a great manner. I think it is a very routine comment about villages. But how many of us know till now cast feeling is there. Lack of education is there. Most of the money in villages is corrupting because lack of knowledge. Villages doing work hardly for country. But we are not providing sufficient facilities like hospital etc, Most of the unemployment is in villages. All of us know when a country calls as a developed country and what are the abilities for it. Then say if villages are like this development of the country is only in small decimal points. So we have to clear problems of villages.

Villages are the backbone of India.

Thank you all.
