Greening Rural Development
Dr. Meenu Jain
Abstract :
In our country, where the majority of the population dwells in villages, national development becomes almost synonymous with rural development. Sri Aurobindo said, “the villages are the cells of a human body. When every cell is healthy, the body is healthy.” Villages are the soul of India. Rural development has remained the central point in the mind of the planners while formulating the plans and setting out the objectives . Different five years plans provide a clear picture of the laudable objectives and massive investments made to change the village scenario . Over the years the constitution of GDP has changed but not the country, not the people . Poverty reduction and economic growth can be sustained only if natural resources are managed on a sustainable basis. The rationale for greening rural development emerges from the Twelfth Five–Year Plan (2012–17) strategy of ‘faster, sustainable and more inclusive growth’ for poverty alleviation. Greening rural development can stimulate rural economies, create jobs and help maintain critical ecosystem services and strengthen climate resilience of the rural poor .
