The Indian society has a euphoria for village life. The village society is considered as the backbone of Indian society. Millions of money has been spent on the development of villages. The basic aim of the study of rural sociology is to make the village people self sufficient and also link them with the wider society at regional and national levels. Due to historical reasons, the existing Indian rural society has become a veritable mosaic of various types of rural societies and hence reveals a diversified cultural pattern. To reconstruct our rural society, it is urgently necessary to study not only the economic forces but also the social, the ideological and oilier forces operating in our society. It is a very complex and colossal task.
