Development, modernisation of rural India a must: President

The President of India today reiterated a previous desire to invest more in rural India which is home to 2/3 of Indians but only 1/3 of India's GDP. She's pushing for private investment within the rural agricultural economy. With the size and amount of labor available, it's crucial that rural areas maximize their potential in the agricultural sector. This will help deter movement toward the city and slum life there. If this were to happen (increased investment) it could lead to improved education and a continued decay of the caste system which is often propped up (more so in the north) by politically motivated groups.
