1273558 JAPJOT KAUR, F1, Q34- INDIAN VILLAGES OUR STRENGTH OR OUR WEAKNESS

   My argument is in the favor of villages.

 

            Indian Villages – The name itself brings in a lot of happiness and fun-filled memories. The place where we can smell the land, we can see all-round greenery and peace far away from the chaos and hustle life of cities. The calmness and serenity of the atmosphere sends is in itself a positive outlook.

            Village is the place where our daily rice and wheat comes from. It is the place where our daily commodities like sugar, honey, tea, coffee, milk, oil, wood, etc comes from. The list is endless. The credit for ecological balance also goes for the villages where the trees take care of the pollution that we create in cities. The term village itself signifies Strength. It is truly termed as the backbone of India. the developed India need not abolish its villages. The cities and villages have to go hand in hand to achieve considerable progress. In the GDP growth where other sectors are scoring more is due to the fact that they have been stressed more and more amount of inputs are being diverted to these sectors. Consider 1960′s where the green revolution has provided India with enough food stocks that it could even export food. It could be a pathetic stage for a country like India to import food for its citizens. We still do remember the Bengal’s starving where thousands of people died lack of food. India may grow be leaps and bounds in IT, Industrial, and other sectors in cities but Villages are going to stay as a major strength for any developing country like India. Even though our country developing in sectors like science & technology but at the same time we have to agree that our economy depends a lot upon agriculture sector, which is in turn, depends upon village farmers.

             India is an agrarian economy, their role can’t be ignored. We can’t exist if villagers don’t provide us with food grains, vegetables, fruits. In India more than 55 yrs of independence majority of people live and find their livelihood in agriculture. The contribution of agriculture though declining, still significant in GDP. But the basic problem which our village suffers is lack of infrastructure facilities. Govt. should upgrade it. This would certainly boost up our economy.

Contribution:

            In all aspects People in Villages are contributing for Nations’ Health and wealth, Agriculture, Handicrafts etc; we have to support the People in Indian Villages for their growth our Nations economy, by providing all the facilities for their work. That villages are undoubtedly the strength of the nation I like to add few points here that as the bricks, though too small, form the base of a huge structure, the villages are also the backbone of the economy, politics, and population of a country. And when it comes to a country like India whose economy even today, largely depends on agriculture we cannot deny the contribution of the Indian villages. Moreover the small scale industries, handicrafts take an important role in the growth of the economy. Even though we have become strong in technology we cannot deny the manpower which comes from the large population of the villages.

Conclusion:

Villages are the biggest support for 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 any other cities, but the entire India is dependent on the villages. They contribute to our modern India in every fields starting from agriculture, economy, prettiness of our country. Hence spite of all the negative factors, the positiveness leads the way. Hence, I conclude that villages are the biggest strength to our India.
