remote to be visited often by the urban residents. The life of the people in an
Indian village is quite different from that of the city dwellers. There is a lack of
several amenities in most villages. For example, in several villages in the western
parts of India, there is still a lack of potable water sources, and the women of the
villages have to walk long distances to fetch drinking water for their families.
Here we have provided a long and a short speech on life in an Indian village for
the reference of students. Also, you will get a 10-line Indian village children
speech here, followed by long and short speeches.
Good morning all. I, <name>, and today I am going to speak on life in an Indian
village. The life of the people in Indian villages is very different from the urban
lifestyle.
The rustic lifestyle is quite simple and people are happy and content if they are
able to meet their daily needs. Yes, often many families go without the basic
resources back in the remote villages of India. The villages in the northwestern
part of our country still have no perennial source of drinking water. The women of
these villages walk long distances, even in the scorching heat, to fetch drinking
water for their families. In many villages of our country, there is no electricity.
While the urban population cannot imagine going without fans or air-conditioners
for a day, the rural people depend upon the natural breezes and seasonal rains
to enjoy a cooler temperature. In remote Indian villages, there is a dearth of
health centers. People have to travel quite a long distance to access the nearest
health center for even the most basic medical treatment.
Since most of the village men are farmers, their day begins early in the morning
in their fields. Their families help them in the fields to grow crops. The women in
our villages are mostly involved in handicraft work and are employed in this
sector. Most amazing handcrafted goods are sourced from our villages, and
some of them are even exported to the foreign market. The children of Indian
villages grow up with very limited resources. Some children travel over long
distances to attend nearby schools. Many children in our villages attend schools
for midday meals. They start helping their parents in earning their livelihoods
from a very tender age. Most girls in the Indian villages are married off at an early
age so that they can get better shelter and food in their in-laws’ place. Whereas
most boys in our villages are employed in the fields at an early age so that they
can help to support their families. This is the reason behind most of the rural
population being uneducated. The young boys and girls drop out of school to
earn the basic resources.
Even though there is a lack of so many resources, the people back in the Indian
villages know how to be happy and content in whatever little they have. There is
a sense of belongingness and deep-rooted brotherhood among the people of our
villages. They celebrate every harvest and the first rain of the year. They
celebrate a lot of holy festivals. These celebrations do not involve lavish
entertainment or extravaganza. Instead, they celebrate the festivals in the
simplest of ways with a lot more fun. Mostly every festival has a story attached to
it and the elderly people preach those stories and songs, passing them on to the
next generations. They make various staple munchings and sweets for the
festivals and the entire village come together for the celebrations.
Hence to conclude on life in an Indian village, I would say that our villages are
our roots and have kept our traditions and the various folk cultures alive. And it is
one of our sole responsibilities to extend our help and support to the villagers so
that they can have a better lifestyle.
