Abstract

India is a country of villages. Hundreds of villages are attached to every big city. About 72 percent of the population of India still lives in villages. The residents of villages produce food grains, clothes, fruits, milk, sugar and vegetables etc., essential items for life for the entire countrymen. For this reason, villages have special importance in this country. The prosperity and development of the country is based on the development of villages. The progress of the country lies in the progress of villages.

The residents of villages are hardworking, straightforward and truthful. They are far away from pomposity and deceit. They do not like fashion and external glamour. They roam in the open environment of nature. The natural beauty of villages is also very captivating. The lush green land here takes on new forms in different seasons. The mango and other fruit orchards around the villages, the cool, fragrant breeze of the morning and the variety of animals and birds are rare things for the city dwellers. The atmosphere of the villages is always peaceful and noise-free.
