Peoples' participation in various programmes like environmental awareness, community forestry and even infrastructure development is very high. If we sustain this pace and start to think about the second generation problems, things could improve. People in the rural areas are better aware about environment friendly practices than yesterday. Micro-institiitions still exist and are functioning well in rural areas. We can still utilize them for conservation and other purposes.
Agriculture is the main sector for the economic development of rural areas.
Tis is also the focus of national development policy. We are entering the phase of extensive and intensive agriculture production. Naturally, large tracts of land could be developed. New technologies, new crops will be introduced which may ormay not be appropriate for selected areas. Machines will be used to a large extent.
