India lives in its villages. As we move to become the third largest economy, it’s important to improve the rural economy for long-term growth. 60% of India’s population lives in rural areas, challenged by low living standards, under-employment, unskilled work, poverty, and indebtedness. Adding value to rural regions would not only benefit the people who live in tiny clusters in the country but would also provide a lot of support and an equal opportunity for success. Since agriculture is the main occupation in rural India, modernizing farming practices, improving storage facilities, and making markets, education, and health care more accessible are key. Investing in these critical areas may improve rural communities, get more things done, and provide new growth opportunities.
Here are certain ways of boosting agricultural prosperity in rural areas:
Diversifying Economic Activities Agriculture and associated activities are usually thought to be the mainstays of rural areas. However, extending into new locations may boost rural economies significantly. Farming is crucial to the well-being of many people who live outside of big cities, according to a World Bank study. They mostly rely on it to supplement their income and keep them out of poverty. Investing in businesses other than agriculture, such as small-scale manufacturing or tourism, can also aid in poverty reduction.
Embracing Technological Advancements Small towns and villages benefit greatly from technological advancements. Renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power, have a substantial impact on a range of industries, according to the World Bank. The cost of power from these sources decreased by 80% for solar energy and 67% for wind energy between 2010 and 2017.
Strengthening rural-urban linkages Creating a strong relationship between urban and rural communities can aid in their expansion. By improving connectivity between farms and cities, 85% of the world’s poor, largely from rural areas, would see major reductions in growth inequities. Bridging the urban-rural divide is vital, according to UN-Habitat.
Investing in Infrastructure and Basic Services Investing in fundamental infrastructure such as roads, communication networks, and power supply is critical for rural growth.
Every country’s economy requires a combination of smart technology, financial methods, and people. Making the best use of resources, utilizing technological breakthroughs, and improving linkages between major cities and local towns are all part of this. It also requires investment in infrastructure, such as roads and bridges, to facilitate commodity and commerce mobility.
