The shining India is no longer a political slogan to garner votes. It is a virtual reality. It should never be used to attract voters by a ruling party because India shining is not owing to the efforts made by the present ruling party but collective efforts made by previous government as well. The ridiculed phrase of “Mungeri Lal ke Sapne” became the reality. Things are transforming rapidly for the betterment, very few people are feeling better and a prosperity and confidence is reflected in the economy of India. In spite of all the feel good factors, India shining, an important aspect is lacking, which is the prosperity and the feel good experience not being reached to the rural areas. Though a lot of work has done to improve the plights of rural sector, but our leaders have to feel that India resides in villages, and until or unless the countryside do not actually feel better, all the progress could not be the real progress. For the real shining of Indian economy for really experiencing the fell good factor, the innocent and illiterate villagers, must experience it is reality. Highest priority be accorded to the upliftment of rural sector. From launching employment. generating scheme to providing proper infrastructure keeping in view the absolute problems of rural segment, basic necessities be fulfilled, to make India, shine fully, with backing of rural economy also surging ahead pace to pace.
