Today why there a need of expansion of non Farm activiyies in rural areas
Answers
Today there is the need of non farming activities due to their great importance--
Rural non-farming activities have become of primary importance in the changing contemporary times, because of many reasons. The reason being, the employment growth of the farm sector has not been consistent or of a reliable outcome, wherein rural non-farming activities play a major role in creating employment in the population. Secondly, if properly strategized, non-farming activities may prevent the migration of many rural people from rural to urban spaces, due to lack of employment opportunity. Thirdly, when employment opportunities go beyond the quintessential agricultural economy, it helps to bridge the urban-rural economic lacuna. Fourth, rural nonfarm activities incur less capital and employ a larger percentage of manpower/ labor. Further, rural industrialization, (falling under the category of non-farming activities) indirectly has ways to spin-off agricultural industries too. Finally, the rural spaces having the rural non-farming industries are seen to have much lesser unequal income distribution, compared to rural areas with the facility of non-farming industries.
