Abstract
In India, the concept of rural development
dates back to the Vedic era; it is not a new concept. Rural development entails
the reconstruction of every realm of human life, including a person's social,
political, and economic circumstances. A country's development is primarily
divided into two main sections: urban and rural. As a result, both areas'
redevelopment is very much required. India focuses mostly on urban
development instead of rural development. As a result, the government and
local administration has formulated initiatives to improve the standard of
living of rural inhabitants. The government has acknowledged the demands and
has enacted development planning activities via Five Year Plan period. Mahatma
Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (MGNREGA) is regarded as a
"Silver Bullet" for eliminating rural poverty and unemployment by
creating a market for productive labour in rural areas. It offers an extra
source of income, decreasing migration, limiting child labour, eradicating
poverty, and making villages self-sufficient via the establishment of
productive assets such like public infrastructure, water tank cleaning, soil
and water conservation work, and so on. Thus, it is regarded as India's
greatest anti-poverty initiative. On the basis of secondary data, an attempt is
made throughout this article to get a thorough understanding of the ongoing
development projects undertaken to redevelop rural life and
livelihood.
