VILLAGE DEVELOPMENT

In every country, we find towns as well as villages. Some countries have more towns than villagers, while some countries have more villages than towns. In our country, we have more than towns. The majority of our people live in villages. There are more then 5000 villages on our country. So the development of our village is very important. The prosperity of our country depends upon the prosperity of our villages.

Our villages are in a wretched condition. They are full of dirt and filth. There os shortage of clean drinking water. The roads are not good. School and hospitals are few and far between. The villagers are illiterate. They do not know the laws of health. They suffer from cholera and other epidemic diseases. The main occupation of the villagers is farming. They are unacquainted withe the modern methods of cultivation. They do not use improved seeds and fetilizers. They do not have irrigational facilities. They remain out of work for many months. They do not have subidiary occupations. The villagers are poor. They can hardly make both ends meet.

We have to do many things to improve the condition of our villages. Roads should be built so that people may travel easily from one place to another. There should be schools for the village children. Literacy classes should be opened for the adults. There should be libraries and reading rooms. Hospitals and health posts should be set up. Clean drinking water should be supplied. The villages should be kept clean. The villagers should be taught the laws of health. There should irrigational facilities. Improved seeds and fertilizers should be made available.
