People living in rural areas generally have least access to services such as electricity, health care, water and sanitation, communication, education and roads because governments and the private sector concentrate on meeting the needs of the more populous urban areas which promise greater cost efficiencies.
Improved infrastructure can have a great impact on rural development - a sealed road can mean faster access to markets; a power line can mean access to labour-saving technology; a wireless transmitter can link the most isolated areas with the World Wide Web; financial services can strengthen investment for income generation and reduce financial risks; a computer centre with well-trained teachers can improve rural people's ability to apply new technologies and knowledge; improved health care can reduce illness and enhance people's ability to work.
A strong rural economy, accompanied by the right policy settings, will boost national economic growth and reduce rural poverty. National economic growth can lead to greater investment in manufacturing and services, resulting in further growth.
Understanding the potential opportunity to serve 70% of the country's population and increased country's economic growth, Drishtee provides access to critical products and services to the rural population. Some of the products and services include, Education, Health, Finance, Retail products, Agricultural and non-agricultural products. |
