Some of the areas which are challenging and need fresh initiatives for development in rural India include :- Development of human resources including literacy, more specifically, female literacy, education and skill development-health, addressing both sanitation and public health. Infrastructure development like electricity, irrigation, credit, marketing, transport facilities including construction of village roads and feeder roads to nearby highways, facilities for agriculture research and extension.
