Generally, there is a pond of water in the heart of the village. There may be a canal running at one side of the village. There is no special fun for the villagers. Their only hobby is to make gossips or watch TV in the evening at the rest-house of the landlord. The marriage ceremony is de most amusing event in the village. This is the occasion when they show their feelings of joy and pleasure. The village fair is still another event of amusement for the villagers. It is usually held when they are free after the harvest.

The chances of education are rare in the villages. Most of the people in villages are Ignorant Owing to the lack of education, people do not know how to solve their problems There are two reasons for their ignorance First, they are not interested in education. Second, proper educational facilities are not available in the villages. As there is no competition in village life, they are contented with their lot. They do not struggle to attain the best. They do not have high ambitions Their only interest is how to increase their productivity.

The government should take steps to educate them The state should provide them with the facilities of the cities. Schools, colleges, and hospitals should be opened in the villages. New roads should be made to link the villages with the main cities. If these steps are taken the villagers would play their role more effectively in the development of the country.
