Agriculture is one of the most important sources of livelihood in rural areas.
Our father of the nation believed that the genuine economic success of the country would not come from the expansion of urban industry, but rather from rural development, and this philosophy must be given full attention even now.
The primary reason for rural development’s relevance is:
- More than two-thirds of India’s population is dependent on agriculture, which has yet to become productive enough to meet its needs.
- One-fourth of rural India is still impoverished.
