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.
