Abstract
Urbanisation is posing ever-growing challenges to most countries around the world. This paper explores the ways in which India can tap into the latent potential of two-thirds of its population still living an agrarian life. It provides a vantage point for the bystander to understand various rural development programmes under way across ten socio-economic elements categorised as ‘essential’, ‘foundational’ and ‘sustenance’. It paints a vision of how strategic efforts over the next decade can enable close to a billion people currently living in villages to propel India’s growth and produce nothing short of an economic miracle–driven by the completion of multiple government initiatives, affordable connectivity and digital technologies.
