Secondary data has been collected from journals, reports and websites. Primary data has been collected from the rural people of the village. Three villages have been selected to study the realistic strategy of rural development. Two rural models Ralegaon Siddhi and Hivare Bazaar from Maharashtra has been selected as sustainable rural development models while Mahsar village from Bihar has been selected as undeveloped rural sector.
