ABSTRACT
This paper focused on rural development under the decentralization process. Rural developments are the root causes of the overall infrastructural development, which will lead to the progress of every people. Without rural development, the entire country will seem ineffective because the people elect the prime minister to panchayats, The Government of India should take care of people's lives by strengthening local government administration. The Government of India launched several policies to support the development of a strong rural economy. The Government efforts to progress rural India have usually prioritized reducing poverty, limiting child labour, and migration, making villages self-reliant, and strengthening local economies. The Rural Development Scheme has been called India's largest poverty alleviation initiative.
