Abstract

India is one of the largest democratic countries in the world. Its spirit resides in the villages. The Indian economy is basically rural and agricultural. The upliftment of villages is necessary for the all-round development of the country. 70 percent of the population of this country with rich human resources lives in about 6 lakh villages. Development of rural areas is a big problem in this hugely diverse country. Many problems like poverty, unemployment, rapid population growth, malnutrition, disease can be seen in rural areas. Keeping these in mind, the framers of the Constitution had laid emphasis on the implementation of rural development schemes. The Father of the Nation had envisioned rural development through Panchayati Raj. The 73rd Amendment Bill of the Indian Constitution proved to be a milestone in the matter of rural development. Various schemes sponsored by the Central and State Government proved effective for rural progress and restructuring Bilaspur district is located in the eastern part of Chhattisgarh. This district is surrounded by Shahdol district of Madhya Pradesh state and Koriya, Raipur, Korba, and Janjgir districts of Chhattisgarh state. The total area of Bilaspur district is approximately 3508.48 square kilometers. It is hilly in the north and flat in the south. The average rainfall in this district is about 1220 mm. The district is surrounded by Agar, Maniyari and Arpa rivers. The total population of Bilaspur district is approximately 12663629 out of which 79% people live in villages and the total population density is approximately 674 persons per square kilometer. The physical, economic, socio-cultural condition of the rural parts of this district is pathetic. There are many obstacles in the path of rural development, which require systematic solutions. This district has immense development potential, which needs to be the focus of the government and planners. Regional disparities can be eliminated by proper development of physical and human resources so that a blueprint for progress can be prepared.
农村发展的挑战与机遇:比拉斯普尔县(恰蒂斯加尔邦)示例研究
印度是世界上最大的民主国家之一。它的精神存在于乡村。印度的经济基本上是农村和农业经济。要实现国家的全面发展,就必须提高乡村的地位。这个人力资源丰富的国家有 70% 的人口生活在约 60 万个村庄里。在这个多元化的国家,农村地区的发展是一个大问题。贫困、失业、人口快速增长、营养不良、疾病等诸多问题在农村地区随处可见。考虑到这些问题,《宪法》的制定者将重点放在了实施农村发展计划上。国父曾设想通过 Panchayati Raj 实现农村发展。印度宪法》第 73 条修正案被证明是农村发展问题上的一个里程碑。事实证明,中央政府和邦政府发起的各种计划有效地促进了农村的进步和结构调整 比拉斯普尔县位于恰蒂斯加尔邦东部。该县周边有中央邦的沙多(Shahdol)县和恰蒂斯加尔邦的科里亚(Koriya)、雷普尔(Raipur)、科尔巴(Korba)和扬吉尔(Janjgir)县。比拉斯普尔县的总面积约为 3508.48 平方公里。北部为丘陵,南部为平原。该地区的平均降雨量约为 1220 毫米。该地区被阿加尔河、马尼亚里河和阿尔帕河环绕。比拉斯普尔县的总人口约为 12663629 人,其中 79% 的人居住在村庄,总人口密度约为每平方公里 674 人。该县农村地区的自然、经济和社会文化状况十分糟糕。农村发展的道路上有许多障碍,需要系统的解决方案。该地区拥有巨大的发展潜力,需要成为政府和规划者关注的焦点。可以通过适当开发物质和人力资源来消除地区差距,从而绘制发展蓝图。
