Abstract

Rural reconstruction is an important task before the economic planners of India. The author takes a stock of measures adopted by the governments through planned policies and strategies and suggests measures to be undertaken for overcoming the dismal scenario of a so called developing economy. Rural Bharat has to be brought at par with Urban India. In achieving this goal the Corporate, the NGOs and the educated masses should function as ‘Social Change Agents’ to transform the vast rural expanse into modern developed India. Only then we can experience a galloping Indian economy.
