چکیده
India is a country which is basically rural in nature and the bulk of the population live in rural areas. About 72.22 percent of the total population lives in rural areas (2001 Census). Along with this, 25 percent of the world’s poor live in India. They have very limited access to education, health, communication and other amenities of life. But a nation can not achieve all round development unless its villages are developed. Once Mahatma Gandhi said, ‘India Lives in Her Villages’ which directly indicates the importance of rural development. Thus, the development of rural areas is crucial to the process of development of India. A sustainable strategy of poverty alleviation has to be based on increasing the productive employment opportunities in the process of growth itself. In addition to this, rural people should provide better prospects for economic development. Along with this, there should be decentralization of planning, better enforcement of land reforms and greater access to credit for the rural poor people. The present paper aims to analyze different rural development schemes introduced in India.
