Community Development Programmes Objectives & Features

1. importance of community development project in rural development Community development project has put a number of workers in form of Grain Sevaks and Extension Officers in each block. The personnel's are engaged in the task of bringing about increment in agricultural production. Due to their role, and other financial as well as technical assistance within the provision of the programme there has been a definite increment in this field. i) Role in agricultural expansion:- ii) Development of Human Resources:- A countrywide effort for free general education has to certain extent, undone the bad effects of illiteracy. The number of schools, colleges growing up in rural areas is a fair index of it. In field of scientific and technical education the development has not been at all dissatisfactory Gone are the days in which there was a shortage of teachers even for primary education with adequate qualification.

2. iii) Organisation of development administration:- The greatest achievement of the community development programme has been the establishment of well structured administrative set up for developmental activities. From the centre to the village a chain of developmental organisation has been created. The establishment of development blocks has really accelerated the process. More than 5,200 blacks have been established ensuring the proper distribution of developmental effort throughout the country. The creation of blocks as units of planning and development has helped to a great extent in reflecting the views and need of the people, in planning and implementation. iv) Health services:- Another gift of the community development programme is the creation of facilities for public health. The Indian parents are no more that much of UN assured about his survival of their children. The cholera, malaria and other epidemics are no more the mass killers. Thanks to the malaria education scheme and national small pox eradication scheme which has achieved tremendous success.

3. v) Motivation of people towards nation building:- To make Indian democracy successful, an to evolve a new socio economic order based on economic and social justice, the citizens of the country should be properly motivated towards it and they should actively participate in it. vi) Growth of national economy:- Till now agriculture occupies a very important position in country economy. In assessment of national economic growth, it has been found that through other sectors like industry transport, and power have achieved substantial progress still then agricultural products constitute the largest portion of the gross national product. Agricultural sector along contributes 45 to 50 percent of growth in the national output.

4. vii) Other Welfare Activities:- A number of welfare activities have been taken up by C.D.P. for an integrated and all round development. Contraction of village roads, establishment of community centers, different sanitary programmes , organisation of Ramayana and Bhajan Mandals , establishment of ‘ Anganbadies ’ making arrangement for games, building of better housing facilities and several other can be categorised under this head. There is no part of the country which has not got one or other of these welfare items. viii) Increase in standard of living:- With respect to the role of C.D.P. in bringing about an increase in standard of living, we find diametrically opposite views. True that, a section of population is yet to get its benefits. Of course, this is due to several other factors. But it can be told without the programme has succeeded in bringing up the standard of living of rural mass. Now-a-days we find a radio set a cycle a watch or either of these in almost all the homes of a village.
