Our motherland, India is a country of villages. A country that constitute of 60% of rural areas. With rapid urbanization and migration, our rural population is shifting to the urban side.  This has been increasing since the New Economic Policy in 1991, with the establishment of many multinational companies and other industries people have migrated to the cities for better earning and living.

Though it has helped the urban India to develop and grow, the rural India has been left behind in this process. Whatever may be the facilities in the cities, the real India lies in the rural areas. The beauty of India reflects in the rural areas. 

As it is called that India is a ‘Country of Villages’, our culture and history is protected by these villages. We will surely witness easy living, lots of facilities, big complexes, malls, better roads, beaches, parks and other items of luxury in the cities but the ‘Heart of India’ lies in our rural India,  where we witness our traditions, cultures, foods, clothing, monuments and historical remains in our villages. And the most important, thing we witness Unity, Love, Secularism and a feeling of togetherness in our rural India.

No matter what the population of the village is, no matter what is the occupation of the people living there, the Unity that people show their reflects the policy of India that it has been promoting that is “Vasudaiv Kutumbkam” that means.

We may feel very relaxed and peaceful in cities while sitting in our rooms, with the AC ON and watching TV shows, but the real peace lies in the fields of rural India within the nature, below this clear blue sky. Sitting beneath a tree, along side our friends and enjoying a stress - free life, is what the city people don't witness. Walking along the fields, enjoying the beauty of nature, the time spent here is worth and it surely helps us heal our stress.

The way people are attached here and the way they communicate, the respect they show, reflects the manners and etiquettes that we often miss in urban areas. People here are concerned for each other and are always ready with a helping hand for other people. People here celebrate each and every festival with a feeling of togetherness and this way we witness our traditions and culture. We experience dance forms that are still unrecognised. We come across various varities of foods items that we will never get to eat in the luxury longues of cities and many more experiences.

It has been good to see our govt. taking measures for the development of our rural India and we are achieving these targets through the use of advanced technologies. We should be always proud that we are the citizens of India and feel blessed to be called Indians.❤️
