India lives in villages and its prosperity will largely depend on the development of rural economy. This paper emphasises the need for the development of rural industries, particularly agro, forest and marine-based industries, by providing employment to a sizeable number of people living in the rural and backward areas. The idea of self employment should be given wide publicity. The need for promoting local enterpreneurship, which is an important element in the development of small-scale industries is stressed. An attempt is made in this paper to advocate the establishment of Rural Institutes.

Development of bio-gas plants, domestic water treatment techniques, low-cost housing, rural electrification, etc. would not only improve the living standards of the rural people, but would generate employment potential as well.

The best approach to employment problems in rural areas of India, however, seems to lie in educating and training the villagers for self-employment.

Abstract


India lives in villages and its prosperity will largely depend on the development of rural economy. This paper emphasises the need for the development of rural industries, particularly agro, forest and marine-based industries, by providing employment to a sizeable number of people living in the rural and backward areas. The idea of self employment should be given wide publicity. The need for promoting local enterpreneurship, which is an important element in the development of small-scale industries is stressed. An attempt is made in this paper to advocate the establishment of Rural Institutes.

Development of bio-gas plants, domestic water treatment techniques, low-cost housing, rural electrification, etc. would not only improve the living standards of the rural people, but would generate employment potential as well.

The best approach to employment problems in rural areas of India, however, seems to lie in educating and training the villagers for self-employment.
