The local economy

Rural development should inculcate the principle of adaptive evolution according to the demand of a given environment. That is, development should be based on strategically improving the economy by improvising the existing system of practices prevalent among the rural people. Development should focus on the evolved practices as a resource of change and development. People and cultures are very important aspect and they cannot be overlooked. Today must be planned for a brighter tomorrow without destroying the heritages of yesteryears. Therefore along with systematic planning and utilisation of the physical resources it will be very important to improvise the socio-cultural heritage of the people and integrating it with the subsistence economy for proper socio-economic development.
The focus of planners of rural development should be to evolve from agro based products for catering to the demand of the local populace for self sustenance and self reliance. This way the market demand for the product will be constant and a durable asset will be created. Gradually the productions can be increased to cater to large scale demands and ventures can be undertaken to commercial crops.
