Some ideas for rural economic development:-
- Agriculture
- Industries (Small and Large Scale)
- Food Processing
- Tourism
The Govt. is pumping in money through various developmental schemes likes Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme, Free Housing etc. but most of these are not sustainable. Instead of basing the schemes on wealth generation, it is spending wealth on these short-sighted schemes. Urbanizing the villages/towns is a promising concept and slowly it seems the political leaders are also getting to understand it. I have been hearing of the honourable Ex-President APJ Abdul Kalam trying his best to spread the word about PURA (Providing Urban amenities in Rural Areas).
