India: A land of Diversity & Heritage

India is a wonderful nation with multiple cultures, great traditions, and nature. There is something special in every place in India - its own history, art, and traditions: from Himalayan snow to southern beaches. Yet, the heart of India is in villages, where cultural traditions are transferred from generation to generation and humanity stays close to one another.

The lifestyle of a person in the villages begins by waking up in the morning followed by doing his/her household chores. They then go ahead with the main earning interests of their basic living i.e. farming. Post that, spending time with family which imparts the feeling of togetherness is the core of any village lifestyle.

Economy and Agriculture

Diverse sectors operate in the Indian economy; farming still remains at the heart of rural society. Farmers cultivate different crops: rice, wheat, pulses, and spices among them, such that they make a strong contribution to local consumption and worldwide exports. The combination of technological advancement, organic culture, and national projects like PM-Kisan have affected Indian agriculture as it sets out to welcome modern times by holding on to time-honored practices.
