Indian villages are a strength for India for several reasons. Over 68% of Indians live in villages and they depend mainly on agriculture and small-scale industries. Villages provide food for the country through agriculture and many city workers come from villages. Small industries in villages like handlooms and dairy support employment. Villages have a simpler lifestyle with limited consumption of resources. However, villages also face some weaknesses like old beliefs, lack of education and facilities, and many villagers moving to cities. Overall, the document concludes that villages are India's biggest support and strength despite some challenges.

1. INDIAN VILLAGES: Strength or
Weakness

2. What really a Village mean?
A village is a group of houses or a
community, larger than hamlet but smaller
than a town. Most of the land surrounding
is used for farming.
A village is also said to be a pollution
free, peaceful area located far from city
environment.

6,40,000 villages in India.
According to 2011 census, more than 68.44%
