ROLE OF EDUCATION IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT
ABSTRACT:
Education is the mirror of the society and is the seed as well as flower of the socioeconomic
development. It transforms human beings from ignorance to enlightenment, from shades of social
backwardness to light of social amelioration and a nation from underdevelopment to faster social and
economic development. Education is the true alchemy that can bring India its next golden age. The
motto is unambiguous: All for knowledge, and knowledge for all.
The system of education in rural areas has been undergoing many changes and transformations. In
the present existence, there have been developments and progressions taking place in the system of
education in rural areas. But still much improvement need to be made and it is not at par with the
urban system of education. With developments taking place in the system of education in rural areas,
the rural communities are able to recognize the significance of education and sustain their livelihoods
better.
INTRODUCTION:
Education is one of the most important factor for social and economic transformation of a country.
Well educated people, adequately equipped with knowledge and skill are not only necessary to help
economic growth but is also required for inclusive growth. The development of any country depends
fully on the education of its people. Basic education is viewed worldwide as human right. For this
reason ‘The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009 came into picture. All
educational innovations require strong community support and participation. ‘People’s acceptance
and participation’ can be used as an indicator for measuring the progress of the various programmes.
Education plays a critical role in rural development, as it is a key factor in developing the people of
the rural area, the community, and the land itself. With education, there is always a bright future in
store for rural communities.
