India is a country made up of villages. There are more than 6 lakh villages in India. And the basic pattern of its economy is rural and agrarian. About 70 percent of India's population lives in rural areas. Production from agriculture, production of milk through animal husbandry, livelihood by earning employment and income is the standard of living and lifestyle of the rural population. Therefore, it is essential to give importance to development efforts in any form for economic development. It will not be meaningful to envisage economic development without intensive rural development. Pooja Mahatma Gandhi also said "If you want to strengthen India, first strengthen the village" Rural development is a powerful process of development.
