Understanding contemporary rural structure – a study from Telangana state, India

In attempting to understand the current situation of rural condition, it is important to examine micro level issues of study area and personnel profiles field area. It is rightly pointed out by Galbraith that the causes of poverty can be identified by distinguishing between ‘case poverty’ and ‘area poverty’. In his view, ‘case poverty’ is largely a product of the personal characteristics of effected persons. Some persons have been unable to participate in the nation's prosperity because of old age, illiteracy, and inadequate education, lack of job skills, poor health, inadequate motivation, or racial discrimination. Hence, it is essential to study the profile of the study area and personal characteristics of the respondents. In the present study, an attempt was made to analyze the existing phenomenon of rural areas of backward areas of India.
