LIFE IN VILLAGE

India is a land of villages. About 70 percent of our population lives in the villages.

Hard work, simplicity and plain thinking is a charm of life there. Villages are the main supply line of cities.

The life starts early in the morning without any bed tea or bed feed. They take the domestic animals for grazing or plugging in the crop-sowing fields. The children and house wife help them in their toil in the field. The house-wife prepares food, looks after the old parents and takes the food to serve the farmers in their working spot.

These women work in the fields as the husbands take a period of time spent sleeping after lunch on in the afternoon. Their normal food consists of the chapattis and simple pickles. Milk and running products are sold in the city market because this comes sunder cash crops.

The rural population has pure non-polluted air. They have neat and clean water and fresh bath changes the life into new bright moods. Village food is always full of purity and containing the required vitamins and energy. These factors contribute a longer share in maintenance good health.

        

   

Rural population remains dependent on agriculture for its survival. The villagers suffer acute shortage of water and energies such as electricity and fuels. They are bound to run their own generator sets.

Indian villages lack good medical aid and good specialized service in health care. Even the field workers hardly care to propagate the proper health awareness in the villages.

It seems the days are not far away when our village will present a modern image of good life and urbanities will be attracted to revert back to villages for a permanent stay.
