Our Villages
The life beat of India is heard Mite villages. Go to the villages’ was the advice given by Gandhiji to the youths.
Great poets and writers have thanked the villages for very many of their creative works. The rural atmosphere with its fertile fields and prosperous environments with its calm and quiet atmosphere has been the resort of many who are in pursuit of rest and relaxation.
After breathing often the polluted air of the city life, the hustle and bustle of hasty movements, the village tones down the nerves and provides as tonic to tune up the system.
India is a net work of villages. Even the sedate villages filled with innocent people uncorrupted by the city life have nowadays been changed. Villages remote from the cities have been modernized provided with all the amenities available in an advanced city. All roads lead to the villages.
Model villages have been created and adopted by social service organizations and big banks from the cities. But still the villages retain the serenity and calmness.
The sun rise and sun set amidst picturesque land-scape in the villages are beautifully caught in the painters canvass.
Fresh milk, green vegetables with other dairy products still enrich our life in the villages.
After the turmoil of a turbulent life in the cities, the villages provide a natural change of scenery and enlivens, one to face the ordeals and tense situations ahead with a more bright and hopeful outlook.
The sincere and hard-working villagers living entirely upon their soil, getting up early in the morning before sun rise and working in their field till the sun sets provide the food and fodder for the city life.
Without the villages, the cities will be without the means of survival. The city owes so much to the villages and not the vice versa.
But still the city thinks independently of the villages. Both have many, no doubt, by which they can complement each other.
And the villagers being the nerve centres of the country should not be neglected for the fleeting and illusory prosperity of the cities.
Let us, who live in the cities, think of the villages so that the villages in turn will be continuing to contribute its might to the city life.
