My Rural India.
Different people have different perceptions of Rural India in their mind, some gets a picture of green fields, bullock carts, and even clumsy shabby person with a pair of bullock’s .This is what we think about a village sitting in a city.
Forget those images of ravaged villagers with ragged cloths and sun baked earth. Island of poverty still exist but most of rural India is transformed beyond imagination thanks to factors which has put unprecedented wealth in the hand of farmer across the country and turn it into huge consumer market.
The super markets purchase food products directly from farmer thus farmer gets market for his product at his door steps and no middle man is there to suck his hard earned money.
As per 2001 census 72.2%of population lives in about 638000 villages .The government of India is emphasizing on rural development .the indra awaas yogans for home to rural homeless people,Pradhan mantri gramin sadak yogana ,Rashtriya baagwani mision,poshahar yogana and most popular MGNREGA are few to name. Because of these a regular inflow of money have begin due to which the purchasing power of villager have increased and rural economy started flourishing.
It was 1994 when my grand father brought a black and White television set to our village .The set had shutter in front and it was EC company’s television .During installation group of villagers started coming and at 8;40PM at the news time around 600people had gathered to watch it at our backyard .It was a celebration time for everyone .The teacher of the primary school was heard saying that now we will be connected with the rest of the world and will start progressing .Today my village have plasmas and even 1or 2 desk tops .
Now days most of the villagers have vehicles, cell phones, television with dish, refregrators, invertors and many such amenities. Rural people have also recognized the value of education so almost every child is going to school ,here government have also worked and introduce scheme of mid day meal at all schools .
Again talking about my own village, from past 20 yrs development have been there at a regular pace. I remember in my childhood days electricity was there but unorganized power cuts was regular feature, but now a days power cuts in villages are less and due to it many gazettes have been purchased by rural masses even villagers have started to relay totally on electricity for irrigation at fields which in turn increased yield and thus prosperity .
we had a bio gas plant also at our village which was first of its kind .There were no phones 8 years back and now villagers carry mobile phones, the landlord calls the worker at anytime and can check weather he is irrigating the land or not which improve the productivity .awareness thru television about rights and schemes of government for farmers and villagers have increased.
