Karnataka has 56,682 rural habitations including 27,017 Revenue villages. According to 2001 census, about 348 lakhs of its people, out of a total population of 448 lakhs live in these rural habitations. That constitutes about 69% of the State's population and about 62 lakhs households who live in the rural areas depending mainly on agriculture. The distinguishing features of the State's rural society are the following:

(a) the existence of a large number of scattered habitations;

(b) dependence on agriculture and related activities;

(c) low share in the state domestic product as compared to its population, which means that it is characterised by low per capita incomes;

(d) low levels of infrastructure like roads, electricity, housing and water supply; and

(e) lower rank than the urban areas of the State in terms of human development parameters like literacy, health services and skill endowments. Development of rural areas in the State would therefore imply improving the productivity of agriculture and other economic activities in the rural areas, improving the coverage and quality of infrastructure, and improving the quality of services, which contribute directly to upgrading the quality of human resources. The Department of Rural Development and Panchayat Raj is implementing number of schemes for improvement of living conditions of the people, to create economic and political awareness in rural areas.

1. Improvement of Rural Infrastructure
