Indian villages - our strength or our weakness?

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.

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.

Yes, I do agree with all of your points, but every one of you is discussing the economy, govt policies and so on. But the most important part of the Indian villages is the peace where we will not get it in the cities, they are born to be happy without any richness and wealth. They earn to the day leave happy, become a lending hand to someone who is in need.

This creates a lot of peace among the people and the village becomes the most stabilized area. By this, the harmony is created where the people is out of any head weights and the health is improvised "Health is Wealth". But the people of cities are only worried about our wealth not about health. So, somewhere they are our true teachers in our life where we can gain peace and learn harmony from them.

Hello friends.

I agree with you all, but I wanna told you 1 thing Mahatma Gandhi ji said that drive towards a village it means the village is a root of our country first develop village then our country will be definitely develop.

I wanna share one example with you. When a builder build a building if on that place any tree cut by the builder if the same situation at the village then a villager built a house around a tree but he can't cut that tree. It means villager conserve a nature & respect nature.

So, I conclude that the village is a strength of our Indian ethics, nature, & our prosperity.

Hi,

The villages are the backbone of our country. The main trade of India is spices. Now the question comes to mind is that where do these spices grow who grows these spices?

The answer, The spices are grown in our country villages. The farmers grow for us to feed ourselves.

Greetings to everyone,

I would like to say on the both aspect,

Indian Villages are Strength because they provide the Food for whole state and also around 60 % employment and contribute to GDP by around 13%.

And because of raw materials for many products provided by villages only, the development and sustenance of Cities is possible.

It maintain the ecological balance, are literally pollution free, people are also more healthy here.

Villages shows how to live in unity, with loyalty with each other.

Negative points are.

In villages level of education is low both quantity and quality wise, unemployment and underemployment is common, lack of water supply and electric supply is there, sanitation problem is there, health care facility is rarely available, population growth is more, lack of financial assistance and other basic facilities are not readily available.

Transport facilities are not there for easy trading and business in villages.

Inter caste and religious hatred is there, status of women and children is not at par. Lack of professionalism is there in there dealings. People in villages still follow the old malpractice and superstition.

They are not open minded for the use of modern technologies.

I know my view are more in favor of Weakness:- Because these are the fact people are moving towards the cities, Cities are expanding, they are more fun, welcoming, availability of facilities is there (govt. Sponsored) , so people are ready to sacrifice the former advantages.

Govt and public has to put more effort for the development of villages for uniform growth in India.

Our villages are our strength when we make use of our sample resources that are available to us in a better way.

As compared to Western nations we are blessed with good climate n rainfall where we can have to grow all kinds of crops and reduce our import n increase our exports. This is possible only when we encourage our villages with best available technology and support from our government.

Instead, when the government concentrates only on the development of metropolitan cities, the people from the villages start to migrate to the cities in search of jobs and the population in the cities start to increase and they start to face problem due to hoke in the prices n increased slum areas.

Nowadays the programmes like MNREGA is providing the jobs for 100 days. In the same way, they have to undertake still more programmes.

Thank you.

The Indian village is the heart of our country economy because 65 - 70% of our GDP depends on the agriculture sector. So it's not a weakness of our country but it required lots of investment to making new technology for the agriculture sector to making easier for our former that do hard work for making better production.

Hi, I'm Rupesh.

In my point of view, Indian villages are not only our strength but also our backbone because a major part of our country economy depend on agriculture and which are totally based on villages. Only villages sustained our culture. But literacy rate of our villages is very low so we are not getting proper benefit of modern technology in comparison to developed countries like as America, Japan etc. That's reason Indian village is not developed but our government is trying to improve the condition of villages and develop a new campaign. I hope that our villages would increase literacy rate and we stabilized as developed.

In our point, Indian villages are the strength of our economy. The village is the backbone for making agricultural production. This production is transporting from village to city people can survive the country. If the village people cannot make agricultural production, the city people will not live in the country. The village people are only following on our traditional culture and maintaining a dignity of the economy. Because the rural people have been celebrating a festival with their relatives and neighbours in happily. But city people do not know about their near people name and would not make a relationship. Moreover, the rural people have been living for more than the age of 80, the natural herbs and natural environment have extended their life. So, rural is a bone our country.
