‘India lives in villages’ said Mahatma Gandhi, many years ago. Today, Socio-political point of view India has been divided into two parts-one is Urban and another is Rural India (Bharat). I attempt state the socio-economic conditions of Rural India which have 833.0 million people out of 1210 million total population of India. The Rural India lives in 640867 villages as per Census 2011. I have also highlighted the difficulties of agrarian population, social and gender discrimination, poverty and other indicators of development in this paper.
