    poverty issues the concept of smart village should be adopted.

    Introduction
    Rural development is the process of improving the quality of life and well-being of people living
    in rural areas. Rural development is the combination of two words ‘rural’ and ‘development’.
    Rural means “open land” and includes all persons living outside urban area and who live on
    farm. Thus agriculture is generally the main occupation in rural areas. While on the other hand

    development actions are intended to further the socio-psychological and economic
    development of rural communities. Rural development programs have historically been top-

    governments or international development organizations. Rural Development is a process of
    changes carried out deliberately for the uplift of the Rural People. It is generally refers to the
    process of improving the quality of life and well-being of people living in relatively isolated and
    sparsely populated areas. Rural development is a topic that is pretty easy to understand but hard to

    psychological condition of people living in rural areas that experience grave poverty issues and
    effectively aims at developing their productivity.

    M people in India live in villages and at least half of them are below 25 years of age. Almost 70
    per cent of the Indian population lives in villages. The top priority should be the creation of
    opportunities for youths in villages, thereby discouraging migration to cities. India is
    predominantly an agrarian country. Agriculture is the predominant livelihood occupation and the
    rural population is largely dependent upon it. A large part of this rural population (more than 200
    million) is still living below the poverty line and is the focus of rural development programmes.
