what are the basic needs of the people living in villages
Answers
Answer:
The government has identified 15 basic amenities to enhance quality of life in villages. It has asked gram panchayats (GPs) to make all these facilities available to the people. These include drinking water, playgrounds and open-air theatres.
The move is aimed at arresting the migration of rural people towards urban areas. In a circular issued last week, the Rural Development and Panchayat Raj (RDPR) Department said of the 6.11 crore population of Karnataka, nearly 61 per cent live in rural areas. There are 59,532 habitats and 27,397 villages within 5,629 GPs.
The foremost priority with the government is to enhance quality of life in villages so that it is on a par with urban areas, the department said. The department has asked GPs to make the amenities available through ongoing schemes, including the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MNREGA).
Since the government is committed to provide at least 55 litres per capita day (LPCD) of water to every family in a village, the GPs should focus on providing individual households tap connections.
Explanation:
Those living in rural areas are also human beings and are tax paying full fledged citizens of India though not treated as such. They too have hopes and aspirations and want a reasonably equal part of the fruits of development.
Those living in rural areas are also human beings and are tax paying full fledged citizens of India though not treated as such. They too have hopes and aspirations and want a reasonably equal part of the fruits of development.Their basic needs are not limited to food alone. They want roads, electricity, good public transport system, good schools and access to GOOD public health facilities. They want access to credit. They don't want to be treated as second class citizens. Their most basic need is respectful treatment, not only once in 5 years when netas go vote hunting.
