Q1. What is the objectives of rural development?

ANS: Rural development in India is the overall progress in the

economic and social conditions of Indians residing in rural areas. It is
not an objective but a constant process in itself. As a result, this
process actively contributes to the economic growth of a rural region
and the country as a whole. Conversely, the economic development in
an area leads to rural development.
With the passage of several decades since independence, the Indian
government has stressed the need for rural development in India.
Therefore, the objectives of rural development include providing
opportunities for earning a respectable livelihood. Consequently, the
rural population will be able to relieve themselves of poverty and
economic backwardness. The policy-makers in India attempt to
introduce modern education, health standards, and land reforms to
offer the rural inhabitants a standard of living.
The main objective of the Rural Development is improving the living
standards of rural people by utilizing the easily available natural and
human resources. The other objectives of rural development
programs are as follows:
1) Development of agriculture and allied activities.
2) Development of village and cottage industries and handicrafts.
3) Development of socio-economic infrastructure which includes
setting up of rural banks, co-operatives, schools etc.
4) Development of community services and facilities i.e. drinking
water, electricity, rural roads, health services etc.
5) Development of Human resource mobilization.
 Q2. Explain rural development and its importance.

Rural development is the process of improving the quality of life and

economic well-being of people living in rural areas, often relatively
isolated and sparsely populated areas.
Rural development has traditionally centered on the exploitation of
land-intensive natural resources such as agriculture and forestry.
However, changes in global production networks and
increased urbanization have changed the character of rural areas.
Increasingly rural tourism, niche manufacturers, and recreation have
replaced resource extraction and agriculture as dominant economic
drivers. The need for rural communities to approach development from
a wider perspective has created more focus on a broad range of
development goals rather than merely creating incentive for agricultural
or resource-based businesses.
Education, entrepreneurship, physical infrastructure, and social
infrastructure all play an important role in developing rural
regions. Rural development is also characterized by its emphasis on
locally produced economic development strategies. In contrast to
urban regions, which have many similarities, rural areas are highly
distinctive from one another. For this reason there are a large variety of
rural development approaches used globally.
The role of rural development is important not only for the majority of
the population who live in rural areas but also for the overall economic
development of a country. In the process of the evolution of the
country, the process of rural development is becoming increasingly
important than it was in the past. The objective of this approach is to
achieve increased productivity, greater socio-economic equality and
ambition, and stability in social and economic development.
Additionally, the secondary responsibility is to ensure access to
clothing and footwear, a clean environment and house, medical
attention, recreational facilities, education, and communication.
 Q3. Explain the Key issues of rural development.

Rural development is the process of improving the quality of life and

economic well-being of people living in rural areas. Rural areas support the
bulk of India’s population. Simultaneously, these areas are the breeding
ground of poverty, hunger and starvation. Rural development refers to
the actions and initiatives taken for the social and economic development
of the rural or backward areas. The key issues in rural development are
as follows:
1. Human Capital Formation- Rural areas lack quality human capital.
Therefore, rural development programmes should aim at development of
human resources by investing in education, technical skills development
through on-the-job training, health care, etc.
2. Development of Productive Resources- Productive resources help in
generating employment opportunities. Rural development must aim at
development of alternative sources of occupation. Development of
productive resources reduces excess burden on the agricultural sector,
thereby, increasing productivity and income of the rural people.
3. Development of Rural Infrastructure- Infrastructure development is
a very crucial issue at the micro level. Development of rural
infrastructure includes development of bank, credit societies, electricity,
means of transport, means of irrigation, development of markets,
facilities for agricultural research, etc.
4. Land reforms- Land reforms along with technical reforms must be
initiated in the rural areas. These enable the use of modern techniques
and methods, thereby, increasing the productivity and aggregate volume
of farm output. In addition, land reforms lead to efficient and optimum
use of land, enabling large scale production.
5. Lessening Poverty- Poverty is one of the main causes of rural
underdevelopment. Poverty is not a problem in itself; in fact, it gives rise
to many other interrelated problems like unemployment, inferior human
capital, underdevelopment and backwardness, inequalities, etc.
 Q4. Explain Rural Development in India.

Rural development usually refers to the method of enhancing the

quality of life and financial well-being of individuals, specifically living in
populated and remote areas.

Traditionally, rural development was centred on the misuse of land-

intensive natural resources such as forestry and agriculture. However
today, the increasing urbanisation and the change in global production
networks have transformed the nature of rural areas.

Rural development still remains the core of the overall development of

the country. It is important for the government to be productive and
provide enough facilities to upgrade their standard of living.

Rural development is a term that concentrates on the actions taken for

the development of rural areas to improve the economy. However, few
areas that demand more focused attention and new initiatives are:

• Education

• Public health and Sanitation

• Women empowerment

• Infrastructure development (electricity, irrigation, etc.)

• Facilities for agriculture extension and research

• Availability of credit

• Employment opportunities
Q5. Which award is given to cities and villages for Cleanliness?
Nirmal Bharat was started in 1999 and was envisioned as a '
‘community-led’, ‘people-centered’ and ‘demand-driven’ scheme to
achieve open defecation free India. It sought the active participation of
the public along with the government to ensure cleanliness and a safe
environment for everyone.
The focus on the construction of sanitation facilities was not only on a
house level scale but provisions of community latrines were also there
where the need was. Additionally, the program focused on water
availability and water quality. The Nirmal Award was initiated in 2005 to
honor the achievement of Gram panchayats which had acquired full
sanitation in their respective areas and where the villages have
become environmentally clean and open defecation free.
The Nirmal Bharat Abhiyan was tweaked and is now called Swachh
Bharat Abhiyan which aimed to make India Open Defecation
Free(ODF) by 2nd October 2019. Therefore, The awards are given in
several categories, such as:
• Swachh Survekshan Grameen (rural areas)
• Swachh Survekshan Urban (urban areas)

cleanliness)
