Accordingto the 2011 census of India 68.84% of Indians (around833.1 million people) live in 640,867 differentvillages. The size of these villages varies considerably.236,004 Indian villages have a population less than 500,while 3,976 villages have a population of 10,000+. Mostof the villages have their own temple, mosque, orchurch depending on the local religious following. 4. The five major schemes launched by Prime MinisterNarendra Modi in the last five months for the peopleliving in the rural areas to deliver full education; skilldevelopment programs a healthy prosperous life in aclean environment and a home to be in. 5. This is the right step for the growth of the nation. Onlywith the participation of the villagers, especiallywomen this project can come after.Well-developed villages will make India a strongercountry with 1.25 billion people making their dreamsfulfilled. 6. Covering 600,000 villages may look an uphill job, merelywith the dynamic engagement of the villagers, banks,NGOs, corporate coming under the horizon of the CSRprogram village development plan with propercoordination easily achievable in a little period of time. 7. The institutions, individuals will observe auniform policy in adopting villages inaccordance with the regulations set up by thecentral coordinating committee, hence that theefforts put in do not go waste or broken. 8. Indian villages need sustainable and scalable developmentprograms. Firstly, the villagers have to be convinced thatthese plans will dramatically alter their life pattern fromthe present circumstance to a better living. 9. It is about igniting the individual and collectiveaspirations of village to realize their true potential andempowering people to live a healthy and prosperouslife leading to transformation of the village. 10. Government holistic approach should focus on key areasof Economic Development, Education, Skills, Health,Infrastructure, and the Environment. 11. Some of the important componentsthat are needed to be granted moreattention that provides the villagerswith livelihoods that can yield them asustainable income to exist with self-respect. 12. Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana (PMJDY) financialinclusion strategy, combined with Saansad Adarsh GramYojana'(SAGY) village development scheme will augurwell in developmental programs of the villages byoffering mobile banking services. 13. Until the broadband connectivity is established, andthe villagers are familiarized with the bankingoperations the banks should establish close rapport toenable the villagers get maximum benefits. 14. The banks mobile units could visit the villages once aweek and the villagers hither to saving money in theirhouses could utilize the banking services for theirbenefit. The banks could in turn apart from assisting thevillagers for their banking needs, could fund the basefacilities for the villages. 15. With the participation of state governments, banks,village councils, the natives settled in other regions andas desired by PM the MPs/ MLAs adoption programs allthe villages could get under the SAGY scheme in a shortperiod. 16. A village is a clustered humansettlement or community, larger than a hamlet butsmaller than a town, with a population ranging from afew hundred to a few thousand (sometimes tens ofthousands). Though often located in rural areas, theterm urban village is also applied to certain urbanneighborhoods. 17. Villages are normally permanent, with fixed dwellings;however, transient villages can occur. Further, thedwellings of a village are fairly close to one another, notscattered broadly over the landscape, as a dispersedsettlement. 18. In the past, villages were a usualform of community for societies thatpractice subsistence agriculture, andfor some non-agricultural societies. 19. The trend of urbanization continues, though notalways in connection with industrialization. Villageshave been eclipsed in importance as units of humansociety and settlement. 20. Although many patterns of village life have existed,the typical village was small, consisting of perhaps 5to 30 families. Homes were situated together forsociability and defense, and land surrounding theliving quarters was farmed. Traditional fishingvillages were based on artisan fishing and locatedadjacent to fishing grounds. 21. Village development has traditionally centered onthe exploitation of land-intensive naturalresources such as agriculture and forestry.However, changes in global production networksand increased urbanization have changed thecharacter of rural areas. 22. Linking modernization of agriculture withmodernization of rural India is a critical part of thelarger task of nation-building in India. Nation-buildingis an outcome of numerous socio-economicand political processes at macro,regional and micro levels. 23. Increasingly tourism, niche manufacturers, andrecreation have replaced resource extraction andagriculture as dominant economic drivers. 24. The need for rural communities to approachdevelopment from a wider perspective hascreated more focus on a broad range ofdevelopment goals rather than merely creatingincentive for agricultural or resource basedbusinesses. 25. Education, entrepreneurship, physicalinfrastructure, and social infrastructure allplay an important role in developing ruralregions. 26. The scheme, all schools in the village will be convertedto smart schools with IT-enabled classrooms. 27. The Modi government is set to launch a new skilldevelopment policy by March 2015 that wouldbridge the gap between educational institutionsand the labour.The new scheme is expected to move beyond thetarget of skilling 500 million youth by 2020. 28. Skill development and cluster approach have beenaccorded top priority to enhance productivity,competitiveness, and capacity building of MSMEs.About 441 clusters have been taken up for thediagnostic study and soft interventions. 29. In rural India there are a number of youths passing outof ITI (Industrial Training Institute) with a spirit tobecome entrepreneurs. However, due to poor access tospecific training skills and cumbersome formalities &processes this aspiration remains unfulfilled. 30. In the health sector, universal access to basic healthfacilities consisting of health card, medical examinationwill be provided, along with total immunization. 31. Pucca houses for all homeless or those living in kutchahouses will be a key focus of the scheme, besides ensuringtoilets in each household and all public institution. 32. Other facilities include piped drinking water; all weatherconnectivity to the main road, electricity connection toall households, village libraries, telecom and broadbandconnectivity as well as CCTVs in public places. 33. For social security, old age, disability and widowpensions, insurance schemes like Aam AadmiBima Yojana and universal access to the PublicDistribution System to eligible households will beprovided. 34. Awards can be instituted for best-maintained villagesdistrict level, state level, country level considering thefollowing measures.

The competition is not about finding "the mostbeautiful village, nor the most ancient, nor themost picturesque, just the one that is best caredfor and "its aim is to involve everyone in the village,encouraging them to take greater pride in theirsurroundings. Villages are judged on how clean andwell cared for they are, as well as their impact onthe environment. 38. Modi wants MPs and MLAs to adopt villages, todevelop them to be an integral part of thenation; this ambitious project also requires theinhabitants of the villages to take active part forthe success of this project. The objectives of thisproject the villages to become self-sufficient,and not to lack behind the urban areas in gettinga good education, health systems, andinstallations. 39. The aborigines of these villages settled inother regions should also become involvedin the development of their native village. 40. The successful execution of the schemesdepends on making a centralized unit tocoordinate with the state governments,institutions, NGOs, individuals and thecorporate.The adoption of villages is to be streamlinedby the centralized unit with proper guidelines,to ensure the developmental work carried outwithout any impediment to achieve fastresults. 41. Social development is about putting people at thecentre of development. This means acommitment that development processes need tobenefit people, particularly but not only the poor,but also a recognition that people, and the waythey interact in groups and society, and the normsthat facilitates such interaction, shapedevelopment processes. 42.
