In order to score good marks in the upcoming NABARD Grade A Exam held by the National Bank for Agricultural and Rural Development (NABARD), all the candidates need to focus on one crucial aspect of the paper, which is Agricultural and Rural Development. Today, we’ll discuss various organizations for rural development in India. Knowing about these organizations, and how they assist the rural sector to develop will help you with your preparation.
Rural Development Organizations in India – Notes
The majority of the population of India dwells in villages. However, due to poor connectivity with cities and towns, lack of schools, and lack of knowledge of modern farming techniques, life in most of these villages is delinked from the modern conveniences one enjoys in towns and cities. For the overall development of the country, rural development programmes and schemes are important. In general, rural development denotes community and economic development initiatives and actions taken to improve the standard of living of remote villages, non-urban localities, and the countryside. The Government organizations for rural development in India aim to better the social and economic lives of poor people by providing financial aid.
Here are the names of a few such organizations that have contributed greatly to the development and welfare of the Indian rural sector:
1. National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development
» NABARD is an apex of Indian development financial institution, headquartered in Mumbai.
» The institution has regional offices all across the country.
» The bank has been entrusted with matters concerning policies, planning, and operations in the credit field for agriculture and similar activities in the rural areas.
» NABARD looks after the development of small-scale village industry and cottage industry.
» The bank also coordinates the financing activities of all institutions involved in developmental work at the field level and maintains an association with the Reserve Bank of India, State Government, Central Government, and various national-level organizations concerned with the formulation of the policies.
2. Khadi and Village Industries Commission
The Government of India formed a statutory body, the Khadi and Village Industries Commission, under the Parliament Act, in 1956. Under the Ministry of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises, this apex organization seeks to promote, plan, organize, assist, and facilitate the development and establishment of village and khadi industries in rural locations in coordination with other organizations involved in rural development wherever required.
The Commission aims to fulfill three objectives by monitoring and implementing various programmes and schemes. The objectives are –
» Providing employment opportunities to the rural population
» Providing saleable articles
» Creating self-reliance among rural people and building a strong community spirit
3. Centre of Science and Technology for Rural Development
Headquartered in Thrissur and operative in 13 other sub-centers including Gurgaon and Kerala, the organization strives to change the economic and social status of the poor by providing eco-friendly, low-cost housing technology using transparent, gender-sensitive, and participatory procedures.
4. Ministry of Rural Development
The Ministry of Rural Development is a branch of the Indian Government, entrusted with the task of advancing the socio-economic development of rural India with special respect to education, health, hygiene, drinking water, roads, and housing.
Besides, nowadays, several Non-governmental Organizations like Salaam Bharat, Sehgal Foundation, Sanjeevani, and Rural Development Foundation, India are actively participating in rural development programmes, and reaching out to the poor to provide financial aid with the aim of improving the current scenario of rural India.
