India lives in villages.

India is a rural country . more than 70% of the population lives in villages. they are called gaon. kasba basti .
the population has its major occupation as agriculture.







most of the population is not economically healthy if we count the averages. and still uses the old ways of farming. although the new technology is strongly and speedily creeping into this. 

 

 the rural India is still green and full of life despite disparities and problems. 




another look around a village.




the villagers are simple people and largely still live in old fashioned houses.

 

another look at the houses

a stone roof hut.


water is a problem in many villages , they still depend on the monsoon for the crops and have to fetch drinking water from the village wells or the river around.






the village women fetching water from the hand-pump of the village.




still there are villages where there is no electricity at all .
