    India: A predominantly rural country

    India: A predominantly rural country
    Credits:
  • India is a predominantly rural country with 833 million people or 68% of India's population living in rural areas.

    The rural areas generally lack access to basic amenities such as healthcare facilities, sanitation, drinking water, LPG gas connection, etc.

    This not only leads to poor living standards in rural areas but also migration to cities in search of better opportunities.

    PURA could not succeed

    PURA could not succeed
    Credits:
  • As a strategy for holistic rural development, late President APJ Abdul Kalam mooted the idea of PURA (Providing Urban Amenities to Rural Areas).

    PURA, launched by the UPA government failed, as it was restricted to the private sector with negligible government participation.

    It could not take off at 4 of the 13 planned places and implementation at 9 places was also not good.

    What is the Rurban mission?

    What is the Rurban mission?
  • Rurban, an acronym of Rural-Urban, is an improvement over the PURA scheme.

    The Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Rurban Mission aims to develop a cluster of smart villages as growth centres to trigger the development of the region.

    Modelled on an initiative by PM Modi in Gujarat, SPMRM will help reduce rural-urban migration, arrest growth of slums in cities, improve living standard in rural areas, etc.

  • Information

    Smart villages will have 14 components

  • Each village cluster will have 14 components for development like skill development, digital literacy, agro-processing, sanitation, public transport, LPG gas connection, piped drinking water, solid and liquid waste management, street lights, mobile health units, and so on.

    Credits:
  • The Union Cabinet cleared the Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Rurban Mission to bridge the rural-urban divide in access to basic amenities.

    The mission, over the next 3 years, plans to develop 300 smart rural centres with each centre catering to 4 adjoining villages.

    Touted as a mantra for urbanization, the Rs.15,000 crores scheme will seek funding from existing schemes and about 30% from the Centre.

  • Personal

    Population criteria for clusters

  • Each smart rural cluster will require around Rs.50-52 crores to develop gram panchayats with a population of 25,000-50,000 in plains or coastal areas and 5,000-15,000 in desert, hilly or tribal areas.
