3.2 Rural Development According to Oyeleye, D.A.(1987) he defines rural development as process in which development in social infrastructures such as better roads, water supply, electricity, schools and hospitals spreads out from the urban centres or communities and moves into the rural villages and communities. Abumere S.I. (2002) stated that if rural development is defined as a means to help improve the physical, cultural, social and economic status or life of the rural people then that means

Although many people seem to believe that rural communities and populations are without crime, this is a misconception that effects the way in which policing takes place. Crime statistics in local communities do not put emphasis on the happenings in rural communities. This leads to shortages in specialty crime units that could be useful in rural areas, though difficult to supply because of low usage. The resources, such as funding, that could be allocated to rural areas is then provided to other departments

For some time, rural areas have seen a marked decrease in economic potential as a result of the urbanization of most areas in the United States. Unlike many of the more populated areas, rural areas are home to small communities that exist over a vast amount of land. Farmers, cattle herders and the like often suffer from a lack of economic certainty whereas their profits hinge on the conditions around them. It has become increasingly necessary to implement new methods of revitalizing the economies

Challenges Elderly Face Living in Rural Areas Social workers that practice in the rural environment should understand the importance of their client’s community. People who live in rural areas are viewed as “country”, unfortunate, and illiterate people not living the “normal” standards. In other words, these characteristics of the rural lifestyle are people who are comfortable living in the low populated environment are restricted to different resources compared to the urban communities. Furthermore

not more than 28 per cent of the population. Out of 36.74 core internet subscribers till September, 2016, 24.7 core of the connections are concentrated only in cities. Urban India is way ahead with 61.9 internet subscriptions per 100 people while rural India is struggling with 13.7 subscriptions per 100 people. Digital disparity is so high that Delhi alone has 2.2 core internet connections while the entire North-East lags behind with just 4.3 lakh connection. Half of the 3 core connections in Maharashtra

Defining Rural Areas for Statistical Purposes The vagaries around the rural concept must yield to an objective form in order to have consistent measurement. Since this chapter draws primarily on data from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), their definition of rural is consistent and convenient. Since 2006, NCES has used the same “urban-centric” locale definitions used by the US Census Bureau. Fittingly, under this urban-centric definition, rural areas include all those located

Gap Global Disaster Preparation and Rural Communities Aletheia LLP Rural communities have largely been left out of the discussion when it comes to disaster preparation and planning. Most global planners hail from urban areas, governments are located in urban areas, and most NGOs in the disaster sphere are headquartered in urban areas. Naturally, the urban areas are the priority of effort for funding and preparation. The responsibility for incorporating rural communities is in dispute among stakeholders

Rural Development In India India has been a welfare state ever since her Independence and the primary objective of all governmental endeavors has been the welfare of its millions. Planning has been one of the pillars of the Indian policy since independence and the country’s strength is derived from the achievement of planning. The policies and programmes have been designed with the aim of alleviation of rural poverty which has been one of the primary objectives of planned development in India

For many communities, particularly rural communities, schools serve as a source of identity. Because of this, the problems that plague rural schools become enough of a problem that they threaten the identity of the community; unfortunately, many lawmakers and policymakers in seats of power do not have an intuitive understanding of how rural schools work. Policies that work for urban schools, or even suburban schools, can not be assumed to fit the role of a rural school. It is suggested in this article

Currently 3.4 billion people live in remote and rural areas. Physical, geopolitical, and financial impediments create an environment where it is difficult to access healthcare. (1) After examining the major extrinsic and intrinsic factors in healthcare delivery to rural areas, we extrapolate how existing technology and supply chain management can be leveraged to create cost effective, large scale, and ultimately self-sustaining strategy.
