India is an agricultural country. A large part of India’s population lives in villages. Life in an Indian village is different from what we can see in a city. Most of the people in a village are concerned with farming or related activities. Their life is simple but interesting. The villagers live in the midst of natural surroundings. The charms of nature make a village an ideal place to live. The villagers live healthy and peaceful life. There is no smoke and noise of the factories. They breathe fresh air which invigorates their health. They get fresh fruits, vegetables, uncontaminated food, pure ghee and milk. A modern Indian village is not all huts and ploughs. They have very well fine cemented houses and all modern machinery for farming. They are socially knit together. Their life is interdependent. They help one another for the supply of their daily wants. Life in an Indian village has some drawbacks too. Villagers are poor. Most of them live in kuchha mud houses. The roads are kuchcha so they are put to great hardship. In spite of their hard work, they are not able to earn enough to provide themselves with even two square meals a day. As they are not able to save anything from their income, in times of need they have to borrow from the village moneylender who charges very high rates of interest.
