Rural development

Rural India, which accounts for nearly three fourths of the India's population
is characterized by low income levels which are inadequate to ensure a quality of
life compatible with physical well being of common man.

District Administration in accordance with the policies of the Central and State governments,
is responsible at the grassroots for launching a frontal attack on rural poverty through various
programmes which endeavour to reach out to the last and most disadvantaged
sections of society, provide them with avenues of employment and to
improve infrastructure relating to their life-supporting systems.

Implementation of Rural Development Plans and Programmes

    Rural Development and poverty alleviation programmes are implemented on a decentralized basis throughout the country.

    The Central Govt. Ministry of Rural Development has been implementing programmes in the rural areas for which it releases central share of funds for policy formulation, overall guidance, monitoring and evaluation of the rural development programmes.

    At the state level, Principal Secretary, Rural Development of the state govt. is the overall incharge for implementation.
