than 800 million people live in villages of India.
Features of Rural Marketing

a big promise for the marketers.
Market growth:

and agricultural inputs; branded products such as toothpaste, tea, soaps and other FMCGs; and
consumer durables such as refrigerators, TV and washing machines has also grown over the years.
