India is a developing country. The numbers of villages in India are more than towns and cities. Sixty-Five percent of Indian population lives in villages. A village is free from the hustle and bustle of a city life. Life in a village is peaceful, calm and quite. The natural beauty and the greenery are a feast for the eyes. There are village Panchayats and village heads to look after the affair of the village.
