Answer 1

In free India, rural uplift programmes were initiated in the year 1952 under community development programme.  These were aimed at changing the face of the countryside, and building a new outlook among the village folk.  Under the Five Year Plans, a high priority is being given to these programmes.  Much is yet left to be done as most of the people live in villages.  However, a new awakening is growing among the people living in villages.

              The goals of the community development programme are quite ambitious.  With the advent of scientific methods of agriculture, increased production of wheat, rice, barley, cotton and other crops has been achieved and efforts go unabated in this direction.  Cottage industries are the backbone of village wage-carners.  Substantial increase in the production of cottage goods based on agro, marine and natural products or bio-products has generated employment in the rural sector.  Co-operative credit societies have sprung up to cope with the increasing demand of capital by small farmers and workers engaged in cottage industries.  Beside, this, efforts are continuing to execute works of common benefit for the village community ; such as, village roads, tanks, gas plants, technical know-how centres and adult education units in the rural sector.  Increase in agricultural production , rural industrialization and a change in the outlook of the rural people are thus the outstanding features of the village uplift programmes.

              During the Five Year Plans, the community development programme has shown excellent results.  Village link roads, rural water supply and sanitation, electrification and mass education are the areas where much work has already been done.  Radio and Television are today as common in rural areas as in towns and cities.  Schools, colleges, and technical institutes are now being opened in the rural and semi-rural areas.  There is a spate of tractors, harvestors and tubewells in villages.  Improved seeds and fertilizers are made available to farmers near their homes.  Minor irrigation schemes are coming up and the village industries are booming.  Primary health centres and veterinary health care units are roaring with improved life and livestock.  A new awakening has now dawned upon village people heading for a bold advance in the new set-up.  Village boys and girls are now teeming with latest information on various topics touching science, politics and life itself.

Answer 2

rural uplift programme us an very effective and useful concept. it help to understand that the people's leaving in rural areas are facing what kind of problems for example electricity-in U.P there are many villages where electricity provided them for 12 to 16hrs out if 24hrs of the day in which these electricity is very important for farmers to make their crops increase by supplying water which only been possible when there is electricity. the other kinds of problems they are facing is not having full information about various government programmes or not having a knowledge about new technologies or machinery which can be used and make the rural area's economy more efficient and satisfying fir people living in rural areas, lack of literacy rate is another problem so if the concept like rural upliftment may started in every rural areas so it eulill be easy to convert a rural area into urban by giving them knowledge about new technologies, new education streams, and training like apprenticeship in factories so if they are illiterate also but with the help of these training they will know where, what and how to work to earn a satisfying income because we all know that the development of country should be analysed after analysing that how much of families or what percentage of population are able to make sufficient income to satisfy thier wants and needs and if even a single person of every family in rural area is earning some how with the help of these kind of programmes so it will automatically convert rural areas to urban as thier will be more demand of product as the person who earns money will buy a product or demand for product so from their the supply and demand of product will be increase and it will make efficient and effective increase in our rural development as well as our countries economy
hope these will help u
