Rural Development and Sustainable Development- Need of The Hour
On the basis of given passage answer the following questions:
It is clear that until and unless some spectacular changes occur, the rural sector might continue to remain backward. There is a greater need today to make rural areas more vibrant through diversification into dairying, poultry, fisheries, vegetables and fruits, jaggery making and linking up the rural production centers with the urban and foreign (export) markets to realise higher returns on the investments for the products. Moreover, infrastructure elements like credit and marketing, farmer friendly agricultural policies and a constant appraisal and dialogue between farmer's groups and state agricultural departments are essential to realise the full potential of the sector. Today we cannot look at the environment and rural development as two distinct subjects. There is need to invent or procure alternate sets of eco friendly technologies that lead to sustainable development in different circumstances. We need to understand that sustainable development aims at promoting the kind of development that minimises environmental problems and meets the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of the future generation to meet their own needs. In 2015, the UN formulated 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) intended to be achieved by the year 2030. Use of Non-conventional Sources of Energy, LPG, Gobar Gas in Rural Areas, CNG in Urban Areas, Solar Power through Photovoltaic Cells, Traditional Knowledge and Practices, Biocomposting etc are strategies of sustainable development. Sustainable development has become a catch phrase today. It is 'indeed' a paradigm shift in development thinking. Though it has been interpreted in a number of ways, adherence to this path ensures lasting development and non-declining welfare for all.
The need for diversification arises from the fact that there is greater risk in depending exclusively on farming for livelihood. Identify the incorrect option about the areas of diversification based on the given passage.

Rural Development
Rural development is a comprehensive term. It essentially focuses on action for the development of areas that are lagging behind in the overall development of the village economy. Some of the areas which are challenging and need fresh initiatives for development in rural India include development of human resources, Land reforms and development of the productive resources of each locality; infrastructure development, and special measures for alleviation of poverty . All this means that people engaged in farm and non-farm activities in rural areas have to be provided with various means that help them increase productivity. They also need to be given opportunities to diversify into various non-farm productive activities such as food processing. Growth of the rural economy depends primarily on the infusion of capital, from time to time, to realize higher productivity in the agriculture and non-agricultural sectors. The National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) was set up in 1982 as an apex body to coordinate the activities of all institutions involved in the rural financing system. Recently, Self-Help Groups (henceforth SHGs) have emerged to fill the gap in the formal credit system because the formal credit delivery mechanism has not only proven inadequate but has also not been fully integrated into the overall rural social and community development. About ` 10- 15,000 per SHG and another ` 2.5 lakhs per SHG as a Community Investment Support Fund (CISF) are provided as part of renovating fund to take up self employement for income generation. Such credit provisions are generally referred to as micro-credit programmes.
