Our villages suffered from poverty, illiteracy, disease and superstitions before Independence. But the face of our villages has been changing since Independence. Today, in every village we see some progress and development.
- Zamindari System has been abolished and the land has been given to the landless farmers.
- Agricultural production has increased manifold. Farmers have now begun to use good quality seeds and fertilisers and agricultural machines. Agriculture universities have been set up to improve the condition of agriculture.
- Schools and colleges have been opened. Children up to the age of fourteen are being imparted free education. Adult education centres have been established to educate the elderly illiterate citizens. Special facilities have been given to educate the women at village level.
- Branches of banks have been opened. Villagers are provided loans at lower rate of interest.
- Primary Health Centres have been opened almost in all the villages to provide medical aid to the villagers.
- A large number of family planning centres have been opened to help reduce the growing population.
- Almost all the villages have been provided with safe drinking water, irrigation facilities and electricity.
- Efforts have been made to lay link roads for all villages to join them with the state highways.
