In an article in the Times of India called "Make us part of the growth story, demand rural kids", 5000 children from over 8 staates participated in a rally "9-is-mine" campaign requesting 9% of the GDP to public expenditure on health and education.In the pullitzer prize winning book "The world is flat", the author says"India can have the smartest high-tech vanguard in the world, but if it does not find a way to bring along more of those who are unable, disabled, undereducated and underserved, it will be like a rocket that takes off but quickly falls back to earth for lack of sustained effort. “This is true because civilizations have perished in the past when there has been extreme disparitities of income and wealth. Rajiv Gandhi as one of India's strongest prime ministers said that only 15% percent of funds for poor actually reached them. What if this continues? Even urban Indians are fed up of poor governance but cannot do much about it most of the times. How will rural India cope?

History is on the side of the urban dwellers. Rural populations decline as a country industrializes and those remaining use industrial technology to increase productivity, increase total food production, and replace the missing pool of workers.
I believe the thrust of the article (I have not read it, I am just working from your synopsis) was probably about educational opportunities for rural areas rather than economic development. India is avoiding a long period of industrialization but pushing ahead with a digital-technological revolution. This puts a premium on education, and India must have the political will to educate EVERYONE in the country. That way, whether those children choose to stay in the rural area or move to the city, they will be equipped to succeed.

there is not any user-friendly thanks to describe this, yet i'm hoping this helps. India is both - a punya bhoomi & a karma bhoomi. A punya bhoomi because of its assorted historic previous , cultural variety & tolerance. you gained't discover distinctive religions, languages etc. co- cutting-edge in unity everywhere else. India is likewise the land of serious people like Vivekananda & Gandhiji. Karma bhoomi is a land the position you discharge your duties. for this reason, people doing their rightful duties in India, can call her their Karma bhoomi.

just like everybody else - people move to cities, and remaining farmers use modern farming technology to produce as much food as they did before.
