1. THE PLACE WHERE WE CAN SMELL THE LAND
WHERE TRADITIONS STILL PREVAIL IN AIR
OUR VILLAGES ARE NOT PROPERLY MAINTAINED THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF WHAT
IS HAPPENING AROUND THE WORLD AND EVEN IN THE CITIES AROUND THEM.
WHAT MAKES THE CITY GENERATION TO HATE VILLAGES IS THEIR EXTREME
DEPENDENCY ON CULTURE. THEIR BELIEFS ARE TOO OLD FOR THE PRESENT
GENERATION CULTURE. THEY WANT THEIR CHILDREN TO STUDY. BUT DO NOT
POSSESS THE PROPER FACILITIES FOR THEIR HIGHER EDUCATION. THEIR JOB OF
AGRICULTURE MAY NOT YIELD THEM MONEY THAT IS ENOUGH FOR THEIR
LIVELIHOOD
RURALAREAS ARE THE BIGGEST SUPPORT OF INDIA, FROM THE PAST TO FUTURE.
THEY ARE THE ONE, WITH WHICH THE WORLD RECOGNIZES INDIA. THEY ARE
THE ONE THAT DOES NOT DEPEND ON OTHER CITIES, BUT THE ENTIRE
INDIA IS DEPENDENT ON THE RURALAREAS. THEY CONTRIBUTE TO OUR MODERN
INDIA IN EVERY FIELDS FROM AGRICULTURE, ECONOMY, PRETTINESS OF OUR
COUNTRY. HENCE SPITE OF ALL THE NEGATIVE FACTORS, THE POSITIVE NESS
LEADS THE WAY. HENCE, WE CONCLUDE THAT VILLAGES ARE THE BIGGEST
STRENGTH TO OUR INDIA.
WHAT ARE THE PROBLEMS IN INDIAN RURAL AREAS?

2. • RURAL AREAS… URBAN AREAS…
• A RURAL AREA OR CONTRYSIDE IS A GEOGEAPHICAL AREA AN URBAN AREA IS A
LOCATION CHARACTERISED BY HIGH
• THAT IS LOCATED OUTSIDE TOWNS AND CITIES. TYPICAL HUMAN POPULATION
DENSITYAND VAST HUMAN BUILT
• AREAS HAVE A LOW POPULATION DENSITY AND SMALL FEATURES IN COMPARISION
TO THE AREAS SURROUNDING IT
• SETTLEMENTS. FOR THE CENSUS OF INDIA
2011, THE DEFINATION OF
• IN INDIA, THE NATIONAL SAMPLE SURVEY ORGANISATION URBAN IS
• (NSSO) DEFINES RURAL AS : ALL PLACES WITH
MUNCIPALITY, CORPORATION,
• : AN AREA WITH A POPULATION DENSITY UPTO 400 / KM CANTONMENT BOARD OR
NOTIFIED TOWN AREA , ETC.
• : VILLAGES WITH CLEAR SURVEY BOUNDARIES BUT NO : ALL OTHER PLACES
WHICH SATIISFIED FOLLOWING CRITERIA
• MUNICIPAL BOARD. 1. A MINIMUM POPULATION
OF 5000
• : A MINIMUM OF 75% OF MALE WORKING POPULATION 2. ATLEAST 75% OF THE MALE
MAIN WORKING POPULATION
• INVOLVED IN AGRICULTURE AND ALLIED ACTIVITIES. ENGAGED IN NON
AGRICULTURAL WORK.
• 3. A DENSITY OF
POPULATION OF ATLEAST 400 PERSONS/SQM
• COMPARISION BETWEEN RURAL AREAS AND URBAN AREAS
• 1) THE POPULATION IN RURAL AREAS IS LOW, PEOPLE ARE MORE ILLETRATE
• A) THE POPULATION IN URBAN AREAS IS HGH, PEOPLE ARE MORE LITERATE
• 2.) AGRICULTURAL PRACTICIES AND UNSKILLED LABOUR ARE THE MAIN OCCUPATION HERE
• B) SERVICE CLASS AND BUSINESS ARE THE MAIN OCCUPATION HERE
• 3) THE GOVERNMENT SERVICES HERE MAY BE DISTANT, LIMITED IN SCOPE OR UNAVAILABLE
• C) URBAN AREAS ARE EQIPPED WITH ALL THE SERVICES
• 4) THE STANDARD OF LIVING HERE IS VERY LOW, PEOPLE STILL ARE IN THEIR TRADITIONAL WAY
• D) THE STANDARD OF LIVING HERE IS VERY HIGH, PEOPLE ARE ADOPTING NEW TECHNOLOGIES
• 5) THEY HAVE VERNACULAR ARCHITECTURE
• E) THE ARE ADOPTING MORDERN ARCHITECTURE
• 6) THE DEVELOPMENT IS VERY LESS, INCOME LEVEL HERE IS NOT FIXED

• G) URBAN AREAS HAVE 365 DAYS PUBLIC TRANSPORT SERVICES
• SIMILARITIES IN RURAL AND URBAN
• 1) POVERTY CONTINUE TO EXIST IN BOTH RURAL ANJD URBAN AREAS
• 2) SOME COMMON JOBS CONTINUE TO EXIST IN BOTH RURAL AND URBAN LIIKE TEACHERS, BARBERS, SHOPKEEPERS, THOUGH
• SCALE OF OPERATION MAY DIFFER
• 3) DAILY WAGE LABORERS EXIST IN RURAL AREAS WHO MAY BE EMPLOYED IN FARMS AND IN URBAN AREAS THEY ARE IN FACTORIES
• 4) BOTH RURAL AND URBAN AREAS WILL HAVE DEPENDENT POPULATION THAT IS ELDERLY POPULATION AND CHILDREN

5. WATER SOURCES
* HISTORY HAVE PROOVED THAT CIVILIZATIONS HAS ALWAYS GREW UP NEAR THE WATER BODIES
, PROVEING THE IMPOTANCE OF WATER
* WATER SOURCES CAN BE BRODLY DEVIDED INTO TWO SECTIONS
- SURFACE SOURCES - UNDERGROUND SOURCES
* SURFACE SOURCES SUCH AS:
-RIVER STREAMS : FLOWING WATER IS TERMED AS STREAMS,IN MOUNTAINIOUS REGIONS
STREAMS ARE FORMED BY THE RUN OFF
-LAKES : SOME PLACES NATURAL BASINS ARE FORMED WITH IMPERVIOUS
BEDS.WATER FROM SPRINGS AND STREAMS GENRALLY FLOWS TOWARDS
THESE BASINS AND ‘LAKES ‘ ARE FORMED.
-PONDS (POKAHR) : THESE ARE DEPRESSIONS IN PLAINS LIKE LAKES OF MOUNTAINS,IN WHICH
WATER IS COLLECTED DURING RAINY SEASONS. SOMETIME MUCH
EXCAVATION IS DONE FOR CONSTRUCTIING KACCHA HOUSES IN VILLAGES
RESULTIJNG IN POND FORMATION
-IMPONDED RESERVIORS:RESERVIORS ARE MADE SO THAT WATER CAN BE STORED IN REVERS
TO MEAT WATER DEMANDS IN SUMMER SEASON
* UNDER GROUND SOURCES
-SPRINGS :SOME TIMES GROUND WATER REAPPEARS AT THE GROUND SURFACES IN THE FORM
OF SPRINGS
-WELLS :THESE ARE SHALLOW WELLS WHICH ARE USUALLY CONFINED TO SOFT GROUND , SAND
AND GRAVEL.THE DIAMETER OF THESE WELLS MAY BE UPTO 20 M
DEPENDING ON THE REQIREMENTS AND GEOLOGICAL STRUCTRURE OF THE
EARTH
-INFILTRATION GALLERIES:MANY ATIMES GROUND WATER TRAVELS TOWARDS LAKES ,REVERS
OR STREAMS.THIS WATER IS TREVELLING CAN BE INTERCEPTED BY DIGGING
A TRENCH OR BY CONSTRUCTING A TUNNEL WITH HOLES ON SIDES AT
RIGHT ANGLE TO THE DIRECTION OF UNDER GROUND WATER

9.  ONE REASON FOR THE FAILURE OF RURAL
DEVELOPMENT SCHEMES
•LACK OF A HOLISTIC FOCUS ON THE VILLAGE AS A
UNIT.
•SEPARATE FLAGSHIP SCHEMES TARGETING
DIFFERENT SECTORS SUCH AS HEALTH (NRHM),
EDUCATION (SSA) AND LIVELIHOOD (NREGA,
NRLM) HAVE BEEN LAUNCHED IN THE PAST, BUT
MET WITH LIMITED SUCCESS.
ADARSH GRAM YOJANA, LAUNCHED BY THE
CENTRAL GOVERNMENT IN 2009-10. THE SCHEME WAS
IMPLEMENTED IN PILOT MODE IN 1000 VILLAGES OF
•CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS SOCIAL EMPOWERMENT BY
ENGAGING ALL SECTIONS OF THE COMMUNITY IN THE
TASK OF VILLAGE DEVELOPMENT.
•CREATE AND SUSTAIN A CULTURE OF COOPERATIVE
LIVING FOR INCLUSIVE AND RAPID
DEVELOPMENT.
3. KEY ELEMENTS OFA MODEL VILLAGE
4. RESOURCES
FOR AN MP, THERE ARE 3 PRIMARY RESOURCE
STREAMS WHICH CAN BE UTILIZED FOR THIS
PURPOSE:
 FUNDS UNDER EXISTING SCHEMES ACROSS
DIFFERENT SECTORS SUCH AS HEALTH,
EDUCATION, SKILL DEVELOPMENT, LIVELIHOOD
ETC COULD BE UTILIZED, AND BASED ON THE
SPECIFIC DEMANDS OF THE VILLAGE. SOME
IMPORTANT CENTRALLY SPONSORED SCHEMES
(CSS) WHICH COULD BE UTILIZED ARE NRLM,
NHM, SSA, NREGA, BRGF, RKVY AND MID-DAY
MEAL SCHEME.
 MPLAD FUNDS (RS 5 CRORE PER YEAR) COULD BE
UTILIZED FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF HIGH
QUALITY, SUSTAINABLE ASSETS SUCH AS SCHOOL
BUILDINGS, HOSPITALS, ANGANWADI CENTRES
AND SCHOOL KITCHENS FOR MID-DAY MEALS.
 SELF-HELP GROUPS, WHO ARE
ELIGIBLE FOR SUBSIDIZED
LOANS UNDER VARIOUS
CENTRAL AND STATE
GOVERNMENT INITIATIVES
 GRAM PANCHAYATS COULD
ALSO RAISE LOANS, IF LEGALLY
PERMITTED TO DO SO UNDER
THE STATE PANCHAYATI RAJ
ACTS LIKE IN THE CASE OF
KERALA.

MODEL VILLAGE
2. OBJECTIVES
A MODEL VILLAGE PROJECT HAS THE FOLLOWING
IMPORTANT OBJECTIVES:
•PREVENT DISTRESS MIGRATION FROM RURAL TO
URBAN AREAS.
•MAKE THE MODEL VILLAGE A “HUB” THAT COULD
ATTRACT RESOURCES FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF
OTHERVILLAGES IN ITS VICINITY.
•PROVIDE EASIER, FASTER AND CHEAPER ACCESS
TO URBAN MARKETS FOR AGRICULTURAL PRODUCE
1. THE IDEA OFA MODEL VILLAGE
 68.9% OF OUR POPULATION LIVES IN RURAL AREAS
(CENSUS 2011).
 IT IS STILL ESTIMATED THAT MORE THAN HALF OF OUR
POPULATION WOULD BE RURAL EVEN IN 2050.
 ON MOST DEVELOPMENT PARAMETERS, THERE IS STILL
A SIGNIFICANT GAP BETWEEN RURAL AND URBAN
INDIA,

10. 5. CHOOSING A VILLAGE FOR ADOPTION
AS PER THE LATEST CENSUS, THERE ARE MORE THAN
640,000 VILLAGES IN INDIA, AND MORE THAN 2.5 LAKH
GRAM PANCHAYATS (GPS). AMONG THESE, CHOOSING
ONE (OR 2-3) GP. ACCORDING TO THE LATEST
GUIDELINES, THE MP MAY CHOOSE ANY GRAM
PANCHAYAT WITH A POPULATION OF 3000-5000 PEOPLE IN
PLAIN AREAS, AND 1000-3000 IN HILLY, TRIBAL AND
DIFFICULT AREAS
 STRONG PANCHAYATS IN TERMS OF FINANCES,
FUNCTIONS AND FUNCTIONARIES – THE VILLAGE
PANCHAYAT WILL HAVE A PIVOTAL ROLE TO PLAY IN
ANY VILLAGE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT. THE
FINANCIAL AND FUNCTIONAL STRENGTH OF A
PANCHAYAT WILL BE EXTREMELY USEFUL IN
PREPARING VILLAGE PLANS.
 PROXIMITY TO AN URBAN CENTRE – CHOOSING A
VILLAGE CLOSE TO AN URBAN CENTRE MIGHT
FACILITATE ACCESS TO PHYSICAL AND FINANCIAL
RESOURCES, AND ALSO HELP IN ESTABLISHING
BETTER CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN THE VILLAGE AND
THE URBAN TOWN. SUCH A VILLAGE COULD ALSO
BECOME AN EXTENSION OF THE URBAN CENTRE,
AND HAVE FACILITIES WHICH COULD VIRTUALLY BE
AT PAR WITH THE URBAN CENTRE.
 POTENTIAL FOR PILOTING NEW TECHNOLOGIES –
SINCE TECHNOLOGY WOULD BE AT THE CORE OF THE
MODEL VILLAGE CONCEPT, THE VILLAGE MUST OFFER
AVENUES FOR EXPERIMENTING WITH SUCH
TECHNOLOGY. SOME EXAMPLES OF SUCH
TECHNOLOGIES COULD BE THE USE OF SOLAR POWER
FOR IRRIGATION AND DOMESTIC LIGHTING, AND
AGRICULTURAL INNOVATIONS BASED ON SOIL
SUITABILITY AND CLIMATE.
 DIVERSE POPULATION GROUPS – THE REAL SUCCESS
OF SUCH AN INITIATIVE CAN BE DEMONSTRATED IF
THE LIVES OF LARGE AND DIVERSE SECTIONS OF THE
POPULATION CAN BE POSITIVELY IMPACTED BY IT.
RATHER THAN FOCUSING ON ANY PARTICULAR
RELIGIOUS OR CASTE GROUP, THE MODEL VILLAGE
MUST AIM TOWARDS THE UPLIFT OF ALL SECTIONS
OF THE POPULATION IN THE VILLAGE. HOWEVER, IT
IS IMPORTANT THAT SPECIAL ATTENTION IS PAID TO
VULNERABLE GROUPS SUCH AS YOUNG CHILDREN,
WOMEN AND THE BPL POPULATION.
