Rural development incorporates all round development of the rural areas. It is not a new concept for India rather it is a very basic principle of our culture. Rural development is a strategy of development designed to make the rural people develop in respect of the economic and social life. It means sustained growth of income of the rural people along with the distribution of income and economic assets in favor of the poorer section of the community in such a way as to uplift their standard of living and progressively remove unemployment. It requires using natural and human resource, techniques, infrastructural facilities, government schemes and project to provide proper education, works and improve the quantity of human life in the rural societies. The basic difference that separates a rural area from its urban counterpart is the infrastructure. Absence of proper roads, non availability of electricity, poor communication and connectivity, lack of education facility, medical facilities and above all lack of supply of essential commodities of daily needs are certain things that our rural areas are putting up.
