Abstract

A major part of India's population lives in rural areas. Though our national economy is totally agro-based is a known fact, no longer the agriculture be a substitute to meet the needs of rural people. It is clear from the major flow of money, which is through urban areas. To improve this prevalent condition government has started several schemes. Despite the fact wherein large amounts of money allocated for the series of schemes designed to generate employment in rural areas, the scenario is not so conducive and encouraging, where million of people remain jobless or are partially employed, which borne little fruits. Unemployment is the major cause of rural poverty and migration of rural people to urban areas.
