Abstract

The real India lives in villages. As more than half of the population of the country lives in villages, rural development is an eminent factor for the development of our economy. The crucial motivating factor for the development of the economy in today's time is education. Like in the body of human being liver is responsible for the proper functioning of the body, in the same way education acts a backbone for the economy. Higher education is the backbone of the modern society. It has the power to transform human beings into human resources. Along with primary and secondary education, higher education is also an instrument to build future generation. In India majority of the higher educational institutions are urban centric. Even most of the higher educational institutions in rural India lack quality. As a result of that rural population are deprived. Under certain circumstances it is seen that gross enrolment ratio is very poor in these rural areas. The situation is even worse for female population in regard to gross enrolment ratio. The paper highlights all these key issues and tries to find out the problems that the rural population is suffering in regard to education. Along with that the paper tries to find out possible remedies to overcome those barriers.
