Rural Development
From NCERT Indian Economic Development, this topic studies rural development in India. You examine the need for credit beyond moneylenders, the roles of cooperatives, banks, and microcredit, and how regulated markets, storage, and information help farmers sell fairly. The lesson explores diversifying into horticulture, fisheries, dairy, and other work, the promise of organic farming, and the pressures of migration. It closes by showing how credit, marketing, diversification, and public programmes together decide whether villages prosper.
