"The soul ofIndialives in its villages", declared M. K.Gandhiat the beginning of 20th century. According to the2011 census of India 68.84% of Indians (around 833.1millionpeople) 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Avillage is a clustered human settlementorcommunity, larger than ahamletbut smaller than atown, with a population ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand (sometimes tens of thousands). Though often located inrural areas, the termurban villageis also applied to certain urban neighborhoods.

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

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

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

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 villageswere based onartisan fishingand located adjacent to fishing grounds.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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 Condition of place of worships, cemeteries, and memorials Condition of public halls, sports facilities, Cleanliness of public toilets, bus shelters, and telephone kiosks

State of footpaths, stiles, field gates, signposting, ponds, and streams Condition of commercial and business premises, including advertisements and other signs Initiative in the care of the environment of the village Evidence of community spirit and usefulness of Village Map Unique identity of the village by symbols, songs, costumes for special social functions etc.

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 forand "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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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