short note on non agricultural opportunities
Answers
Explanation:
In the contemporary times, rural non-farming activities and the rural non-farm economy has been gaining prominence. Around 41.89 million rural populations are employed in non-agricultural activity, estimates the Economic Census of India. These activities further, have a growth rate of 4.56% reported by the Economic Census of India, in the time period of 1998-2005. However, even after a considerable growth, this sector is suffering a hiatus due to few factors like the rural infrastructure (the roads, communication or the electricity), scanty skilled labor due to lack of proper training and facilities, etc. None the less, in the present times, a number of research works are being conducted to study the rural non-farming activities and ways to promote and uplift the same, in our nation.
Non-farming activities can include various ventures like handicrafts, household as well as non-household small-scale manufacturing, construction, mining, quarrying, repair, transport, community service etc, but of course in the designated rural areas.Oct 28, 2018
