A strong panchayat. Most essential without which no village can grow. Essential to take decisions and implement them. This is the body that should watch the finances and the financial strength of the village.
Village Co-operatives: Co-operative societies play a significant role in the growth of rural sector. Co-operatives provide credit to the farmers, the most needed thing in the farming. They cover more than 97% of Indian villages, some run by its members and some by the government: Many co-ops are mismanaged and lack motivation. But that’s not an argument against them. There should be more female participation in village co-operatives. Even a person wanting to build a village single handed shouldn't ignore the value of a co-operative.
Power and Water. The present power ministry is busy electrifying many more villages than one had expected. But we need to look at solar power for rural areas. It can transform villages in areas of irrigation and domestic needs. Irrigation should get priority which will sort out domestic needs. Needs substantial funding. Villages live by farming and if irrigation works farming will boom.
Health care:. Basic health care is what Sri Lanka has managed to introduce in its villages. India has failed in providing health care and medical facilities. More than 60-70% of villagers are abjectly dependent on nearby cities for basic medication. Villages require at least 1-2 man clinics to start with, expanding to medium size hospitals
Hygiene. Potable water. Public toilets if not a toilet for each accommodation. Health and hygiene are inextricable.
Education: India’s overall illiteracy can be traced to its villages. Overcrowded schools in some villages (Arunachal Pradesh) low attendance in many village schools (Bihar, UP).. Some villages lack even primary schools. It’s often difficult to get parents to send their children to schools. It’s the mindset.
Infrastructure. Roads. Accessibility to urban centres. Accessibility to other villages. Prime the village for online activities. The Net will be their window to the world.
Banks, Post office: The federal government decision to set up the Indian Post Payment Bank will have substantial impact on villages. It will become operational next year.
