Rural Development: Concept Approach and Strategy

 
B.K. Prasad (Author)
Synopsis Although overall energy production has increased greatly since the 1960s. Energy consumption per capita remains extremely low in most Asian countries. The more economically developed countries have moderate to high consumption levels. These include the former Soviet republics, Japan, Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong (now a special administrative region of China), Malaysia, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia. The village has traditionally been contrasted with the city; the village is the home of rural occupations and tied to the cycle of agricultural life, while the inhabitants of the city practice many trades, and its economy is founded on commerce and industry, the village is an intimate association of families, while the city is t he locus of a mass population; the culture of the village is simple and traditional, while the city is the center of the arts and sciences and of a complex cultural development. The village and the city offer even sharper contrasts as political communities. Much of India’s rural population lives in nucleated villages, which most commonly have a settlement from described as a shapeless agglomerate. The village school is usually on the edge of the village in order to provide pupils with adequate playing space. Hamlets, each containing only one or a few castes, commonly surround villages in the Eastern Gangetic Plain; Schedule Castes and herding castes are likely to occupy such hamlets. In Southern India, especially Tamil Nadu, and in Gujarat, Villages have a more planned layout, with streets running north south and east west in straight lines. Most village houses are small, simple, one-story mud (kacha) structure, housing both people and livestock in one or just a few rooms. Relatively secluded spots on the edge of the village serve the latter need. In this book, an attempt has been made to discuss the Rural Development concepts, and historical development. Thus, we hope, that it will be of immense import edition for all those concerned with discipline.
