Programmes Launched by the Government of India for the Rural Development in Pre Economic Reform Era A Cash Study

Rural development is a strategy to allow a specific group of individuals to obtain opportunities for themselves and their families in order to sustain better livelihoods. The poverty stricken and vulnerable sections of the society cannot accomplish their desired goals and ambitions on their own. Thus, organizations, agencies, and programs are highly needed to help and assist them. Rural development helps to provide assistance to rural people in order to bring about changes in their living conditions and in fostering health and goodwill. The production and use of natural and human capital, technology, infrastructure services, institutions and organizations, and government policies and programs are necessary if changes are to be made in rural areas. These facets aim to promote economic growth, incentives for jobs, education, technical knowledge, involvement in social, financial, political, cultural and religious activities, and enhancement of the overall quality of life. The policies and programmes have been designed with the aim of alleviation of rural poverty which has been one of the primary objectives of planned development in India. The Planning Commission was set up by a Resolution of the Government of India in March 1950 in pursuance of declared objectives of the Government to promote a rapid rise in the standard of living of the people by efficient exploitation of the resources of the country, increasing production and offering opportunities to all for employment in the service of the community. The Planning Commission was charged with the responsibility of making assessment of all resources of the country, augmenting deficient resources, formulating plans for the most effective and balanced utilisation of resources and determining priorities. For their betterment and upliftment, Government of India started many projects and developmental programmes through the Five year Plan. Anima Kumari | Dr. K. C.
