Integrated Village Development Project: How To Create A Balanced Approach?

integrated village development project

Many governmental and non-governmental organizations are working on this scheme and arranging for subsidies from the state and central government. Even in the 21st century, the villagers are deprived of their basic needs and it is really important to fulfill their needs because, without the fundamental necessity, we may not be able to move our mission forward. 

Some famous non-governmental organizations are taking part actively in the integrated village development project to uplift the underprivileged sections of the rural areas and trying to fulfill their fundamental rights.

What Should Be The Highlights Of A Smart Village Scheme?

  • The first and foremost task is to garner electricity in every household. Where people in the urban areas are implementing AI to power their day-to-day activities, some villages are still in darkness. This disparity should be mitigated. Officials should ensure the electrification of homes at affordable and negligible cost. The Surya Roshni initiative harnesses solar energy to mitigate the demand for electricity in rural areas. Since it is an eco-friendly and cost-effective solution it will work for everyone’s benefit. 
  • For an additional source of income officials from NGOs can create opportunities for women that will help them in earning on their own. We all know that crafts thrive in the nooks and corners of each village.  So, taking the responsibility of letting women indulge in making pottery, jewelry, paper, and glass craft will be a great initiative. There is an immense potential for exporting these artifacts. 
  • Even for the youth, it is going to be beneficial if new opportunities in work come into being. This will reduce the stress on the youngsters to migrate to a different environment. It is imperative that the local authorities, along with government aid,  plan on effective strategies to educate the children. Primary, secondary schools along with skill training institutes and also, development centers should be set up. Also facilitating loans to farmers will be a great boon to most. 
  • The NGOs help the farmers with sustainable agricultural equipment and pesticides and ensure their food security. They help to restore the water sources so that natural calamities such as short rainfall can not affect agriculture and the rural population.
