Abstract

Rural development is crucial to the growth of our economy because villages house more than half of the country’s population. Education is today’s primary driving force behind the growth of the economy. In the same way that the liver is responsible for the body’s proper functioning in the human body, education serves as the economy’s backbone. This paper attempts to explain the current state of rural education, the failures of rural education compared to urban education, and the challenges that rural education faces in order to investigate this significant role that education plays in India, particularly in rural India. It also highlighted various government initiatives and some suggestions for improving local or distance education systems. Although the conditions of rural schools in India are still very poor, the state of rural education is still improving. The primary data were gathered from 75 school teachers through the use of Google forms and a well-structured questionnaire. The majority of rural schools do not provide drinking water, and children must travel long distances to access these facilities. There are very few schools in these areas. Additionally, education is of a very low standard. In order to improve literacy and education levels in rural India, efforts are being made to develop rural schools. In India the main purpose of Such schools is to improve literacy in rural areas.
