Rural development using electromagnetic radiations: A review

Abstract

India is a developing country as well as among largest economies in the world. Hence, India is progressing at a faster rate. Advancing new age technologies are acting synergistically to the developmental processes. At the same time India is a country of villages and its development is synonymous with the development of the people living in rural areas. With 73 percent of rural households, all round development of the nation without compromising rural Indiais a major challenge in front of policy makers and scientists. That is why rural development possesses prime importance while making development policies. Space application technologies play a vital role in the formulation of suitable policies, precise planning and timely execution.These techniques helps in providing tele-education, tele-healthcare, water management, natural resource management, e-governance, weather forecasting and various other services beneficial for rural development. Application of these sophisticated technologies avoids mismanagement, over expense and delay; hence, space application techniques always come handy by the planners. The present paper has been made to study the importance of space application technologies which uses different electromagnetic radiations, through various literatures of national and international repute and to provide comprehensive information toits readers about importance of these technologies. Since, it was rightly said by Mahatma Gandhi that “Real India lives in Villages”, which simply means that development of whole nation could not be possible without developing rural India.
