In India, you will find more rural areas than any other country and so it is a country of villages. i villages. Even today more than 50% of the population consists of and lives in villages, which is why post- independence, Gandhiji, the father of our nation gave a call, had '”Let's move to villages.” for the development of our e country for it is in the villages, one can live a life which is sustainable and self-reliant. Thus, he often talked about having prosperous and self-sufficient villages in the society.
