ABSTRACT Education for the rural areas attracts a lot of significance as the development of the rural areas depends mainly on the literacy of the rural people and provides solutions for the economic and social issues being faced by our nation at large. Importance of education for rural areas is obviously recognized as one of the most essential factors for our national development. A literate villager is capable of using better methods of farming and getting good yields from his lands. Use of new technology and modern methods definitely requires education for the rural folk. Education not only improves the agricultural produce, but improves the awareness of hygiene and health, employment condition and social status of the villagers besides contributing for the development of our industries. However, a look at the progress our government has made in the education for rural areas, reveals the dismal fact that the literacy rate of the rural areas is still very low, which indicates that the required targets have not yet been achieved by us. Various surveys and studies show that the result are not encouraging.
