Rural Society and Re-Imagination of Education

Abstract

Education is the most powerful tool in the world to end poverty forever. India, where extreme poverty has grown, especially in rural areas, is a country where it is totally relevant. Indian society, a large portion of which lives in rural areas, lacks education due to factors like politics, which have been used over the years to keep them ignorant of the benefits of education. As a result, there has been no advancement in agriculture, and there is a lack of skills needed to obtain jobs in the manufacturing and service sectors. The majority of people in rural regions today are surviving, but they are malnourished because they are not getting the necessary nourishment, and at the same time, their income is so low that they cannot afford to buy supplements. The government gave universal education significant consideration after it was added to the Millennium Development Goals, although considering higher education is unrealistic given that only universal basic education has been accomplished. The most crucial thing the government can do is educate and assist the underprivileged in sending their children to school and to support further education with a practical emphasis, which would enable them to find employment in the sector. They should have easy access to agricultural courses if they desire to enrol in one. Rural residents do not receive their fair share of government benefits like the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sichayi Yojana [4] and Fasal Bima Yojana [4] if they are not educated. Therefore, it is imperative to provide rural society with knowledge so that they can benefit appropriately from government programmes as well as from agricultural improvement and revenue diversification.
