Importance of Revival of Villages in India - Holistic Approach for Ideal Village Development
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: India, with its large and colorful rural terrain, has long been regarded a nation of villages. With over 65% of the people still living in rural regions, village development is critical. The restoration of villages in India, with a comprehensive approach to development, is both a socioeconomic and cultural imperative. This article examines the significance of village revival by defining essential terms, tracking the trajectory of rural development, examining its advantages, weighing the pros and downsides, and finding research gaps in the subject. An "ideal village" is one that can support itself economically, socially, and ecologically while assuring justice, access to basic services, and the preservation of cultural legacy. Village revival is the process of revitalizing rural regions in order to enhance their living circumstances, infrastructure, and governance in a way that supports sustainable development. A holistic strategy comprises tackling several aspects of village life, such as agriculture, education, healthcare, sanitation, water resources, livelihoods, and connections, rather than focusing on individual concerns.
