Rural development involves extending the benefits of
development to the poorest among those who seek a living in the bucolic area.
Hence, rural development is a plan intended to develop rural people, especially
those who are socially, economically and politically retrograde and underprivileged.
Rural development does not only means monetary enrichment of society or people,
but overall development such as empowerment, participation in all development
activities, right to speak and vote, access to education and health services,
access to law and all the basic needs of life.
Development is the eradication of poverty, but today
poverty does not only mean economic poverty but it means human poverty, such as
lack of education, health services, low life expectancy at birth, empowerment,
etc. Rural development is a strategy designed to uplift the living standard of
people living in rural areas who are deprived of basic needs of life. It is
simply not possible to neglect the poor any more. They are loudly demanding
their share in the development process. In Nepal, where development and welfare
programs for the very poor have always been accorded higher priority, (though
those programs have not been success due to different reasons) the one
overriding objective of all major government socio-economic plans and programs
today is all alleviate wide spread poverty.
