The government over the years have introduced and launched many schemes for the development of the rural areas but there have been many hurdles which didn’t allow development to take place from corruption to regional , traditional ways of thinking , social stigma , lack of education , climate change , skills and development followed by a number of reason , we need to bring in internet connectivity , electricity facilities in all the villages , compulsory schooling and introduction of colleges , construction of mandatory toilets in every household and bringing in artificial intelligence and machine learning and engineering for the development of the rural region .
