Question

From the given situation answer the following questions. (5 marks)

Rural development is one of the thrust areas of administration. As

Mahatma Gandhi rightly said, “India lives in villages and the development of the

nation cannot be achieved without the development of the villages.” The need

of the hour is the convergence of all development interventions, at the

grassroot level which can be possible through effective governance at the village

level. The movement towards decentralization of the National and State

governments through the Panchayati Raj system needs to be strengthened

through lessons learned from the successful stories of ‘Model villages’ around

India. Through India is progressing in the right direction in reducing education

inequalities and increasing literacy levels, there is still a lot that needs to be

done. An understanding of social issues is important for effective planning and

policy development. Self-governance ensures that Indian citizens, even

previously marginalized, can participate in decision-making.
