In my address the focus shall be on administering and examining rural development interms of socio-psycho-economic aspects. However the diversity in local cultures in different regions of rural India poses some problems in framing policies, administration and approach. 3. Concepts of Rural Area and Rural Development: Our country India is staying in villages. Apart from a few megacities and many towns now growing and developing in to cities 65 percent of our people still live in rural areas. People in rural areas do not have the same quality of life and temperament, trends of mind as enjoyed by the people living in suburban and urban areas. Hence, Rural Development is concerned with socio-psychological-economic growth and social justice, improvement in the living standard of the rural people by providing adequate and quality social services and minimum basic needs. Our rural India has quite a few desirable traits and characteristics but is highly backward in many respects, education, social reform, humanitarian values, attitudes towards women and other caste-religion people, equality among various caste and creeds etc. So rural development program has to be multi dimensional-economic as well as social and psychological. (9) 107th Indian Science Congress, Bangalore 2020 Presidential Address The concept of rural development is quite comprehensive and extensive. G. Shah defines rural development as ¯ the development of rural areas, often rural development in physical terms has meant the extension of irrigation facilities, expansion of electricity, improvement in the techniques of cultivation, construction of school building and provision of educational facilities, health care etc. This is considered to be a lop-sided view of understanding rural development. Of late, rural development signifies a complex and long term process involving fundamental transformation of rural society both at social and economic levels, in thoughts, beliefs and attitudes. It represents planned programs to improve the quality of the life- style, attitudes and outlook etc. The present strategy in our country of rural development mainly focuses on poverty alleviation, better livelihood opportunities, provision of basic amenities and infrastructure
