URAL DEVELOPMENT AND ECOTOURISM, IN ORDER TO MAKE THE VILLAGE SELF-

INDIANEXT VILLAGE 2047

THE STATE OF AFFAIRS In 2047 India will celebrate a hundred years of independence. While there will be various parameters to measure the nation’s progress, the yardstick that will ultimately define our country’s ‘development’ in the most succinct terms is already emerging and shaping itself in the most transformative of ways - the rural landscape. 70% of India’s population – roughly one-tenth of humanity – live in the villages. Isn’t it logical then to assume that their ability to offer fulfilling lives to their inhabitants is germinal to India’s future as a great global power? In fact, an India with 6,49,481 self-sufficient progressive villages is a far bigger and more sustainable opportunity to drive growth than trying to convert the already stifled chaotic urban environments into “smart cities” like the rest of the world is attempting to do.

Fortunately for us, the question is rhetorical; the Indian rural landscape is no more a dormant mine of potential. It is well on its way to realizing and optimizing its inherent possibilities. Statistics clearly show that a rural to rural migration is far greater than the rural to urban one, and is an indicator that larger villages are now seen as a more viable economic option than cities.

The current government, clearly seeing the opportunity to redress the skewed path of economic development for India has tipped the balance of energies towards the Indian villages through the introduction of two of the most publicised policies, the Swachh Bharat Abhiyaan (SBM) and the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY), along with the cluster of 7 schemes under the Gram Swaraj Abhiyan - PM Ujjwala Yojana, PM Sahaj Bijli Har Ghar Yojana - Saubhagya, Unnat Jyoti by Affordable LEDs for All Yojana, PM Jan Dhan Yojana, PM Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana, PM Suraksha Bima Yojana and Mission Indra-Dhanush. These initiatives also underline the fact that rural India is growing in strength and is claiming a greater share of the budget allocation.

However, the fact remains it is not in the progress of rural India that opportunities lie for India; it is in today's evolving rural India that progressive opportunities lie for the rest of this country.
