CONCLUSION
The submitted report mainly emphasis on the analysis of
socio economic profile of the village SHYAM GAON through
which we understand their problems related to local settings.
The study directs that because of its location nearer the town
so people can enjoy some town facilities
In the village it is found that a considerable number of houses
are kacha in nature and their roof are mainly made by tin, tile
and other indigenous materials . This issue has created a
socio economic instability to their daily life which hinder their
rate of development.
Therefore to accelerating the rate of development towards
sustainable way it is very important to give emphasis over
the infrastructure development.
The economy of this village is main based on agriculture. The
core field crop of the village is rice. But compare to the land
area the amount of rice production is very low.
Problem of pure drinking water is also in this village because
of poor infrastructure to solve this problem emphasis over
the infrastructural development.
