26 May 2014 Narendra Modi was sworn in as the Prime Minister of India, who acquired the general elections with a massive mandate, right earnestly started working tirelessly to correct economic slowdown, containing inflation, getting rid of corruption and introducing financial inclusion program and so on, Yet 67 years of misrule made people numb, and were entirely disconnected with the government, were at the clemency of the politicians taking the freebies they had at the time of elections.For votes the minorities were pampered with quotas and reservations. The oppressed remained in the same posture, turned into voting machines. Modi’s interaction with the masses is something, which the people never experienced earlier, and made them understand that they are the principal constituents of the country and the government and the political leaders are there solely to accomplish their welfare. Modi set the government, with clear-cut instructions to the ministers, and bureaucracy to hold along the developmental programs. Modi embarked on his international expedition to strengthen ties with countries for trade facilitations and significant issues like terrorism, climate change and so on. His activities in the international arena yielded substantial results and ignited new hope for sustained partnership in the development.

3. "The soul of India lives in its villages", declared M.
K. Gandhi at the beginning of 20th century. According
to the 2011 census of India 68.84% of Indians (around
833.1 million people) live in 640,867 different
villages. The size of these villages varies considerably.
236,004 Indian villages have a population less than 500,
while 3,976 villages have a population of 10,000+. Most
of the villages have their own temple, mosque, or
church depending on the local religious following.

4. The five major schemes launched by Prime Minister
Narendra Modi in the last five months for the people
living in the rural areas to deliver full education; skill
development programs a healthy prosperous life in a
clean environment and a home to be in.

5. This is the right step for the growth of the nation. Only
with the participation of the villagers, especially
women this project can come after.
Well-developed villages will make India a stronger
country with 1.25 billion people making their dreams
fulfilled.

6. Covering 600,000 villages may look an uphill job, merely
with the dynamic engagement of the villagers, banks,
NGOs, corporate coming under the horizon of the CSR
program village development plan with proper
coordination easily achievable in a little period of time.

7. The institutions, individuals will observe a
uniform policy in adopting villages in
accordance with the regulations set up by the
central coordinating committee, hence that the
efforts put in do not go waste or broken.

8. Indian villages need sustainable and scalable development
programs. Firstly, the villagers have to be convinced that
these plans will dramatically alter their life pattern from
the present circumstance to a better living.

9. It is about igniting the individual and collective
aspirations of village to realize their true potential and
empowering people to live a healthy and prosperous
life leading to transformation of the village.

10. Government holistic approach should focus on key areas
of Economic Development, Education, Skills, Health,
Infrastructure, and the Environment.

11. Some of the important components
that are needed to be granted more
attention that provides the villagers
with livelihoods that can yield them a
sustainable income to exist with self-respect.

12. “Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana “(PMJDY) financial
inclusion strategy, combined with ‘Saansad Adarsh Gram
Yojana'(SAGY) village development scheme will augur
well in developmental programs of the villages by
offering mobile banking services.

13. Until the broadband connectivity is established, and
the villagers are familiarized with the banking
operations the banks should establish close rapport to
enable the villagers get maximum benefits.

14. The banks’ mobile units could visit the villages once a
week and the villagers hither to saving money in their
houses could utilize the banking services for their
benefit. The banks could in turn apart from assisting the
villagers for their banking needs, could fund the base
facilities for the villages.

15. With the participation of state governments, banks,
village councils, the natives settled in other regions and
as desired by PM the MPs/ MLAs adoption programs all
the villages could get under the SAGY scheme in a short
period.

16. A village is a clustered human
settlement or community, larger than a hamlet but
smaller than a town, with a population ranging from a
few hundred to a few thousand (sometimes tens of
thousands). Though often located in rural areas, the
term urban village is also applied to certain urban
neighborhoods.

17. Villages are normally permanent, with fixed dwellings;
however, transient villages can occur. Further, the
dwellings of a village are fairly close to one another, not
scattered broadly over the landscape, as a dispersed
settlement.

18. In the past, villages were a usual
form of community for societies that
practice subsistence agriculture, and
for some non-agricultural societies.

19. The trend of urbanization continues, though not
always in connection with industrialization. Villages
have been eclipsed in importance as units of human
society and settlement.

20. Although many patterns of village life have existed,
the typical village was small, consisting of perhaps 5
to 30 families. Homes were situated together for
sociability and defense, and land surrounding the
living quarters was farmed. Traditional fishing
villages were based on artisan fishing and located
adjacent to fishing grounds.

21. Village development has traditionally centered on
the exploitation of land-intensive natural
resources such as agriculture and forestry.
However, changes in global production networks
and increased urbanization have changed the
character of rural areas.

22. Linking modernization of agriculture with
modernization of rural India is a critical part of the
larger task of nation-building in India. Nation-building
is an outcome of numerous socio-economic
and political processes at macro,
regional and micro levels.

23. Increasingly tourism, niche manufacturers, and
recreation have replaced resource extraction and
agriculture as dominant economic drivers.

24. The need for rural communities to approach
development from a wider perspective has
created more focus on a broad range of
development goals rather than merely creating
incentive for agricultural or resource based
businesses.

25. Education, entrepreneurship, physical
infrastructure, and social infrastructure all
play an important role in developing rural
regions.

26. The scheme, all schools in the village will be converted
to “smart schools” with IT-enabled classrooms.

27. The Modi government is set to launch a new skill
development policy by March 2015 that would
bridge the gap between educational institutions
and the labour.
The new scheme is expected to move beyond the
target of skilling 500 million youth by 2020.

28. Skill development and cluster approach have been
accorded top priority to enhance productivity,
competitiveness, and capacity building of MSMEs.
About 441 clusters have been taken up for the
diagnostic study and soft interventions.

29. In rural India there are a number of youths passing out
of ITI (Industrial Training Institute) with a spirit to
become entrepreneurs. However, due to poor access to
specific training skills and cumbersome formalities &
processes this aspiration remains unfulfilled.

30. In the health sector, “universal access to basic health
facilities consisting of health card, medical examination”
will be provided, along with total immunization.

31. Pucca houses for all homeless or those living in kutcha
houses will be a key focus of the scheme, besides ensuring
toilets in each household and all public institution.

32. Other facilities include piped drinking water; all weather
connectivity to the main road, electricity connection to
all households, village libraries, telecom and broadband
connectivity as well as CCTVs in public places.

33. For social security, old age, disability and widow
pensions, insurance schemes like Aam Aadmi
Bima Yojana and “universal access” to the Public
Distribution System to eligible households will be
provided.

34. Awards can be instituted for best-maintained villages’
district level, state level, country level considering the
following measures. The competitive spirit among the
villages will motivate the villagers to become involved in.
the growth process

35. •Absence of litter and unsightly refuse dumps on
verges
•Condition of village greens, playing fields, school
yards, public seats, and notice boards. Condition of
public and private buildings, gardens, and allotments

•Initiative in the care of the environment of the

•Unique identity of the village by symbols, songs,
costumes for special social functions etc.

37. The competition is not about finding "the most
beautiful village, nor the most ancient, nor the
most picturesque, just the one that is best cared
for and "its aim is to involve everyone in the village,
encouraging them to take greater pride in their
surroundings. Villages are judged on how clean and
well cared for they are, as well as their impact on
the environment.

38. Modi wants MPs and MLAs to adopt villages, to
develop them to be an integral part of the
nation; this ambitious project also requires the
inhabitants of the villages to take active part for
the success of this project. The objectives of this
project the villages to become self-sufficient,
and not to lack behind the urban areas in getting
a good education, health systems, and
installations.

39. The aborigines of these villages settled in
other regions should also become involved
in the development of their native village.

40. The successful execution of the schemes
depends on making a centralized unit to
coordinate with the state governments,
institutions, NGOs, individuals and the
corporate.
The adoption of villages is to be streamlined
by the centralized unit with proper guidelines,
to ensure the developmental work carried out
without any impediment to achieve fast
results.

41. Social development is about putting people at the
centre of development. This means a
commitment that development processes need to
benefit people, particularly but not only the poor,
but also a recognition that people, and the way
they interact in groups and society, and the norms
that facilitates such interaction, shape
development processes.

42. This presentation made in line with Prime
Minister's vision developing villages to develop
India.
