ABSTRACT
A country is called development when their citizens have a decent
and sustainable lifestyle, where there is minimum poverty and hunger
issue. where India calls itself a developing country, but in the true
sense of the term it is still underdevelopment where majority of the
population live below poverty line, have no jobs and employment,
there is food scarcity, water crisis existing in the society, lack of
sanitation and illiterate rate is high. Rural sustainable development is
the key to bring to achieve the sustainable development goals,
eradicate poverty and hunger, Many Foundation, NGOs and civil
society have taken the initiative and helped district and villages in
making their region sustainable through different means and we have
seen appositive growth, along with that they are government schemes
for rural development however many of the schemes benefits don’t
reach to the people due to corruption and lack of political leadership.
There are many farmers who are committing suicide, children are
unable to reach out to school, there is hunger, children are dying due
to malnutrition, electricity has not reached to many villages. We
together need to work along with the gras root people to make rural
India sustainable through innovative ideas and use of technology.
