India's rural economy is so dominant that almost all the activities of the Indian people bear its mark. The most important thing about the rural economy is that, with the Indian economy, it is very big, almost co-terminus. This is so because in many respects it is large in size, and in many respects it is linked to the ways of the economy. Rural India is two-thirds of a billion-dollar economy, living in 638,365 villages and earning one-third of its national income. This encapsulates diversity that cuts across agro-economic, cultural and social contexts through geographic conditions. In India, the rural economy is made up of a wide range of economic activities. First, agriculture is the largest component and the one which provides the rural economy's hub. It consists of the cultivation of crops for different types of cereals, pulses, fruits, vegetables, etc.
