According to the Census 2011 there are 6,49,481 villages in India and 44146 villages are in the state of Maharashtra. 70 percent of its rural households still depend primarily on agriculture for their livelihood, with 82 percent of farmers being small and marginal. As per economic survey, rural economy contributes 46% towards the national income and 25-30% of India's GDP. Considering the figures, it is extremely essential to focus on the growth and development of India's rural economy in our journey to become $5 Trillion economy by the year 2025.
