Socio-Economic sustainability of our Indian villages has been a question always. Concentrated and sustained efforts are required to meet the challenges in these villages. Policies won't turn in to results until the local government take initiatives. A case study will be made in this regard to study how the grama panchayat and NGOs can work for the socio-economic sustainability of the villages.
To evaluate the effectiveness of the govt programs and NGO efforts in uplifting the villagers.
A descriptive study will be conducted by selecting 50 villagers from Vanalli village of Karwar district, Karnataka. A pre-tested, semi structured questionnaire will be administered and data will be analyzed by using percentages and tables.
It is evident that a large number of Indian poor resides in the villages and are socio-economically backward. That means the government policies are either not being properly implemented in these villages or the villagers are not utilizing the schemes properly. In this case it becomes necessary to create awareness among the villagers.
