Rural Development
"Even if you bring entire world's wealth, it will not be sufficient for the development of one single village. Let them do their own work, you support… Suppose the Government gives you all you need, where are the men who are able to keep up the things demanded? So make men first."
Swami Vivekanand

According to Indian tradition, there are three debts or Runas (ऋण ) that can not be repaid. These debts include that of parents, that of teachers and that of society or the country. However, scriptures rightly recommend a man should always try to repay these debts by striving to do so throughout his life, year after year and month after month.
