Majority of population depends on primary sector in India and engaged in farm activities. So, pressure on land should be reduced by giving priority to non–farm activities. Then, they play crucial role in reducing unemployment, poverty and enhances development activities in rural areas. The most dangerous common problem to the world countries is degradation of environmental resources at present. The degradation of environment shows adverse effect on human beings, live stock, bio–diversity etc. As climate changes the availability of natural resource becomes very difficult in rural areas. This leads to migration of people to the urban areas for employment. After recognizing the danger of environment pollution the world countries are giving priority to protect environment. India is also implementing different programmes for the development of rural areas, but there is less importance for protection of environment in the programmes. Under globalization, the non– farm activities got importance in rural as well as urban areas.
