Factors involved in the development of villages in india
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
The earliest human communities were perhaps the loosely organised aggregations of a few families who carried on mutually interdependent activities in gathering food and defending themselves against their enemies. These primitive bands were migratory communities. Gradually man acquired skill and knowledge in agriculture.
With the development of agriculture and the consequent stabilization of the source of food, the people began to lead a settled life and human communities became more stationary. The village emerged which signified that man has passed from nomadic mode of collective life to the settled one.
It is difficult to form a precise definition of the term ‘village’. Generally it is understood to mean a small area with small population which follows agriculture not only as an occupation but also as a way of life.
Answer:
A. Topographical Factors:
Land: It has always been the important topographical factor. It is difficult to carry on agriculture on land which is rocky and uneven. If the land is unfertilized and sandy, villages cannot easily develop there. That is why there are very few villages in the desert Sahara; where we find villages at every two or three miles in the plains of the Ganges and the Yamuna.
Water: Water is dire need of agriculturists for cultivation. If water is scarce, not much use can be made of even the most fertile land. In the desert water is scarce, villages are scattered far and wide.
Climate: A temperate climate is the most favorable for growth of agriculture. Better soil varieties and conditions have been responsible for the growth of village communities in the plains of the Northern and Central India and also in other parts of the country.
B. Economic Factors
Condition of Agriculture: It is the fact that if agriculture yields a fair amount of produce, village community will be prosperous.
Economy: If the village has the facility of getting money in times of need, it will be a favorable condition for the growth of village community. Cottage industries play a very important factor in the economic growth of the community.
C. Social Factors:
These are the factors of peace, security, cooperation, intelligence and love and thus the conditions of soil, climate, moisture, availability of water, condition of agriculture and economy and the conditions of peace and security play important part in the growth of village community.
