What to Focus On

  • Rural development is broader than agriculture alone.
  • It includes literacy, health, land reforms, infrastructure, and employment.
  • More than two-thirds of India's population depends on agriculture.
  • Human resource development includes literacy, education, skill development, health, and sanitation.
  • Infrastructure includes electricity, irrigation, credit, transport, roads, and market access.
  • Land reforms remain an important part of rural change.
  • Credit supports both farm and non-farm activity.
  • Before modern banking, moneylenders often exploited poor farmers.
  • After 1969, social banking and multi-agency rural credit began.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Rural development means only increasing farm output.

Rural poverty has already become small enough that it is no longer a serious development issue.

Agricultural credit and agricultural marketing are the same thing.
