Abstract

Overall development of country is the main objective of Indian government since its
independence. Earlier the main thrust for development was laid on Agriculture, Industry,
Communication , Education, Health and Allied sectors but soon it was realized that the all round
development of the country is possible only through the development of rural India. Keeping
this in view Panchayati Raj Institutions have been introduced under the 73rd Amendment Act of
the Constitution of India. Rural Development includes measures to strengthen the democratic
structure of society through the Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs). It also includes measures to
improve the rural infrastructure, improve income of rural households and delivery systems
pertaining to education, health & safety mechanisms. Government of India has taken many steps
to develop rural India and for this Department of Rural Development has been setup under the
control of Ministry of Rural Development. The department through PRIs has launched various
development schemes such as Sampoorna Swachchta Abhiyan, Gram Vikas Yojna, Farmer
Market & Livestock Market, Underground Drainage System Construction Scheme and so on.
Through these schemes Government of India seems to accomplish its dream of rural India's
development. Although some loopholes may also be seen. Without overcoming these drawbacks
Government of India won't be able to foster the growth of rural India.
