    Efforts for Rural Development
    • A. R. Desai had identified four major trends of rural
    social change:
    • Rapid transformation of agrarian society from
    subsistence economy to market economy;
    • Rapid transformation followed by the introduction of
    modern technology;
    • Abolition of intermediaries such as zamindari system;
    and
    • Emergence of various associations and institutions
    having linkages with urban and national organisations.
    • the Community Development Programme (CDP) was
    started in 1952
    • The Integrated Rural Development Programme (IRDP)

    Conclusion
    • The Indian rural community has undergone
    considerable changes, particularly since
    Independence, as a result of a series of land
    reform legislations that have accelerated the pace
    of this change.
    • Rural and urban communities have continuous
    interaction among them due to interdependence.
    • For example, dependence of city people on the
    farming community for agricultural produce.
    Likewise, the rural community is dependent on
    urban areas for new technology, to enhance
    agricultural production.
