RURAL DEVELOPMENT


In most post colonial societies in  the post world   war  2  period, rural development was synonymous with  ‘modernization; which  centered on achieving  economic  growth  through technological and  scientific inputs and new social  organizations.  The  aim was to transform the non  capitalist and subsistence  - oriented  sections and bring them to the world of the modern and market – oriented capitalist  sectors, initially based on  a laissez faire  ideology, in newly –independent countries after the  2nd world war, the process increasingly  came  to be dependent
on the state and international funding agencies
In general, rural development programs may be classified according to two general categories
1.       growth oriented and productivity centered programs, also known as the technocratic model, 
2.      Equity oriented and redistributive programs, also called the radical strategy, and 
The reformist model which is  a combination of  the  first two (Sajogyo  1979:109-138)  and inayatullah and Wanasinghe   1979:413:429


1.                   The nature of peasant society with respect to social  class structures  and    moral communities
2.            The process of agrarian  (or  rural)  change   and in particular,  the   transition from pre – or  non –capitalist societies to capitalist ones including the alleged disappearance of the peasantry,   
3.            The  potential  for revolutionary and predication action among the peasantry and their role in  movements   for social   change
4.            rural development strategies and the role of the state,  and
