Question

write a short report on utilization of local resources in our community.

Answer 1

• Agriculture is the most important sector in rural economy. It provides employment opportunities and
• livelihood to majority of rural people. But, agriculture has its own limitation. Even if all sorts of possible
• facilities could be available to the development of agriculture, it is very difficult if not impossible, to absorb
• whole battalion of rural folk. On the other hand, cultivable land is also limited and asymmetrically distributed.
• Naturally along with agriculture, non-agricultural activities also deserve attention to flourish for generating new
• employment opportunities. In this regard, available local resources would be of greater importance. It has been
• seen that in rural areas different resources are lying untapped. It is difficult to make a distinction between
• poverty and underutilization. Proper utilization of these resources may generate sufficient employment
• opportunities there leading to economic betterment of rural people. Agricultural resource, horticultural resource,
• forest resource, livestock resource etc. could be utilized profitably in rural periphery. During harvest time large
• amount of vegetables and fruits go into wastage or sold in a throw away price. If these are processed in rural
• level, along with generation of employment opportunities, wastage of different products will be minimize and
• farmers will also get the fair price for their production
