Visit a village, you find mobile phones, landline phones, and television sets with cable connection as most common elements of life style. With all these resources, the life in villages is changing rapidly making dream come true of Young India.
The Villages are our rich resources of skill set having numerous scholars waiting to get exposure. If our Government could initiate to offer the best of basic facilities like Road, Good Education, and Transportation connectivity along with this technology boost, villages in India will definitely lead India to become superpower soon.
Broken and impeded roads, poor quality of school education added with fluctuating Electricity conditions are demoralising village psychology. The 21st Century India still has "Bhoot", "Pret", "Jadu", and "Tona" concepts highly applied in villages terrorising state of mind of women living in villages. Living under high pressure of Male lobby, the women here has the only alternative to keep mum and do her household activities.
Non-Governmental Organisations claiming larger on success in boosting lifestyle have not yet concentrated this blue of Indian society.
