Indian villages-our strength or our weakness?

Replies: Posted By: ssrkraju Hi All, Indian Villages - The name itself brings in a lot of happiness and fun-filled memories. The place where we can smell the land, we can see all-round greenery and peace far away from the chaos and hustle life of cities. The calmness and serenity of the atmosphere sends is in itself a positive outlook. Village is the place where our daily rice/wheat comes from. It is the place where our daily commodities like sugar, honey, tea, coffee, milk, oil, wood, etc comes from. The list is endless. The credit for ecological balance also goes for the villages where the trees take care of the pollution that we create in cities. The term village itself signifies Strength. It is truly termed as the backbone of India. A developed India need not abolish its villages. The cities and villages have to go hand in hand to achieve considerable progress. The GDP growth where other sectors are scoring more is due to the fact that they have been stressed more and more amount of inputs are being diverted to these sectors. Consider 1960's where the green revolution has provided India with enough food stocks that it could even export food. It could be a pathetic stage for a country like India to import food for its citizens. We still do remember the Bengal's starving where thousands of people died lack of food. India may grow be leaps and bounds in IT; Industrial, and other sectors in cities but Villages are going to stay as a major strength for any developing country like India.

Well they are strength to our nation 1 it contribute to POLITICS 2 They bring AGRICULTURE to maximum level 3 They also do revolutions when things get complicated infact necessary for our nation Well things shud be changed a lot Posted By: sidhu Indian villages-our strength or our weakness? Hi friends,

Yes I agree with soumya to say that Indian villages are strength rather then weakness, even though our country developing in sectors like science & technology but At the same time we have to agree that our economy depends a lot upon agriculture sector, which is in turn, depends upon village farmers. Indian villages are existing still b'coz of their great tradition & values, even though there is lack of infrastructure for the farmer to farm agriculture land still they are growing seeds in their land due to their grea t will power which makes feel India to be a proud nation. So friends I m very happy to say that Indian villages are strength to the nation. Posted By: dpak Hi people, Indian villages are our strength, bcoz they contribute the maximum for our agricultural sector as pointed out by soumya and sidhu. But I would like to add by saying, most of our Indian population (more than 70%)lie in the villages.lately, these people are moving into the cities to find jobs and for a better living and end up in slums. Therefore I feel the government shud develop the rural areas (other than agriculture) and provide more job opportunities to them, so that they could be stopped from migrating into the cities (and eventually end up in slums-which has to be eradicated from he cities). Moreover, this way they can utilize the population of the villages to develop their own villages and hence also our economy. Its high time our villages are developed!!!! Posted By: satyadev I too agree what my friends told... Villages are the Core Parts to India, In all aspects People in Villages are contributing for Nations Health and wealth, Agriculture ...Handicrafts...etc We have to support the People in Indian Villages for their growth our Nations economy, by providing all the facilities for their work. Posted By: rhea As most of my friends have mentioned here that villages are undoubtedly the strength of the nation I like to add few points here that as the bricks, though too small, form the base of a huge structure, the villages are also the backbone of the economy, politics, and population of a country. And when it comes to a country like India whose economy even today, largely depends on agriculture we cannot deny the contribution of

the Indian villages. Moreover the small scale industries, handicrafts take an important role in the growth of the economy. Event though we have become strong in technology we cannot deny the manpower which comes from the large population of the villages. The concentrated population in Indian villages determines largely the fate of Indian politics. So I must conclude that we should take care to strengthen our this strength by providing proper education, healthcare, awareness, and required help in other sectors. Posted By: cishawsharma Obviously our villages are our strength. But we are unable to recognize the importance of our villages. Our villages are the hubs of our nations economy. And our culture and heritage is our village. But due to some climatic conditions some of our villages are still poor and economically backward. New technology must be introduced into our villages. The most serene and beautiful places in our country are only villages not cities.
