We need to give special attention for the growth of rural, backward and hilly areas. Why?

It is rightly said that we need to give special attention for the growth of rural, backward and hilly areas because:

• Large scale business houses are unwilling to invest in these areas. It leads to lack of employment opportunities in these areas.
• There is disguised and seasonal unemployment in rural areas. This type of unemployment can best be tackled by developing small scale and village industries.
• It is the duty of the government to ensure balanced development in all corners of the country.
• It can help to make these areas developed and bring them at par with other areas of the country.
