"RURAL DEVELOPMENT"

Introduction : The 'Rural' development means the improvement of the villages. Bangladesh is a small country of 86,000 villages. More than 78% of our people live in villages. This fact reminds us of the importance of villages in our agro-based economy.
 
Past condition : The villages were prosperous in the remote past. The barns were full of paddy; the cow-sheds were full of cattle; the and happiness. Most of the things were produced in the villages. In short, the villagers were self-sufficient in allmost all respects.
 
Present Condition : The present condition of the villages is not at all satisfactory. We notice that the importance of villages is getting less and less day by day with the ever-increasing popularity of modern science, technology and amenties of town life We now badly feel the development of the villages side by side with the development of the cities.

How to develop : The development    of the villages cannot be done overnight. We can take the following steps to better the conditions of the rural life : • A net work of schools--both general and technical should be set up all around. • A good number of adult education centers should be set up. • Farmers should be trained in the scientific method of cultivation. • Proper steps should be taken to improve the conditions marketing of the agricultural products should be improved. • The health and improved. • The transport and communication system of the villagers should be improved, • The villagers should be motivated to adopt the family planning measures. '• Cottage industries should be revived and developed under Govt. patronage • Co- operative societies should be started to extend loans to farmers, • Stresses should be given on the improvement of the fish cultivation in the rural areas. • The village hats and bazars should be developed. • The supply of electricity should be extended more and more to the rural areas, • Last but not the least, the educated and the rich' people should come forward to strain their time, energy and money for the all round development of the rural life. 

Steps taken by Government : Our Government is fully aware of the need of the rural development. A great emphasis has been laid on the development of the rural education, agriculture, medical care, electrification, family planning, cottage industry, transport, communication, health and sanitation, fish cultivation, recreational facilities etc. with a view to making the villagers self-sufficient in all respects. 

Conclusion : There is no denying the fact that both the rural life and the city life are indispensably integrated with each other and both of them play a simultaneous role in the overall and balanced development of Bangladesh. They are not substitutes for each other but complementary. We should make the campaign 'Go back to the village' popular by bringing about necessary changes with providing necessary amenties and novelties of modern life.
