I would like to give following advices to the village panchayat that can improve our village along with generating employment:
  1. Promote education and health: for the development of rural area, it is imperative to develop health and education facilities. It is important to increase productivity, life expectancy, standard of living, etc. Panchayat should establish primary, secondary, schools along with night schools and primary health care centres.
  2. Easy credit and finance: Due to lack credit and finance, rural people are not able to invest in agriculture, establish any productive units, acquire good education and health care facilities, etc. Credit on easy terms (low interest rate, collateral, etc.) would help farmers in increasing their productivity.
  3. Develop non-farm activities: Agricultural activities are characterised with seasonal work. To support farmers in getting regular work and earnings, it is very crucial to develop non-farm activities like pottery making, handcrafts, artesian work and small and cottage industries.
  4. Implement government policies: Panchayat should implement government policies which are framed for the rural upliftment. They should be implemented by taking proper responsibility and accountability. Employment generating programmes like MGNREGA, Swaran Jayanti Gram Swarojgar Yojna, other programme/ schemes public distribution system, Janani Suraksha Yojana, etc. are important to implement for rural development.
