Abstract

                                I feel highly honoured to be called to present a paper on a great subject, which is life and death to the great mass of rural population. I would crave your indulgence for my short- comings but I assure you that I am ready to learn from your remarks. We must all put our shoulders to the wheel so that the almost im- movable car of our Indian rural masses may start moving. I am confident, once it commences to move, then no one can stop its progress.
