Abstract

India is the second most populous country in the world and majority of its population lives in rural areas. Rural development has been India`s prime concern ever since time of independence, and several strategies and plans were implemented from time to time to achieve a better level of development. However, neither top-down, nor bottom-up strategies of development could bring the desired change. Present paper attempts to identify some correlates of rural development and tries to know why desired level and pattern of development could not be achieved even after seven decades of planning process.For its analysis, the study takes case of Sadar development block of Pratapgarh district of Uttar Pradesh. The analysis of 10 select variables reveals that there is a vast disparity in level of development in thestudy area. However, the study notes that the lack of basic education, health and credit facilities is the cause behind this disparity and poor level of development. In view of the findings the study suggests that‘local resource oriented development strategy’ should be adopted to ensure the holistic development of the rural areas.
