A rural community has a sense of unity and relies on agriculture as its main occupation. The key features of rural communities include villages as institutions that satisfy local needs, a strong sense of community, and reliance on nature. Rural development aims to improve economic and social conditions through infrastructure development, improved health, education, living standards, and generation of employment opportunities primarily in agriculture and related sectors.
