While number of people is still a large percentage of total population, the share of agriculture in national income has dropped in percentage terms. This means that the people depending on agriculture are relatively worse off, compared to people in manufacturing and service sectors.
The trend of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Farmers%27_suicides_in_India farmers suicides] across the country should also be discussed as a pointer to need for rural development. Many farmers do not know of alternatives to farming and agriculture has become less remunerative. Costs of production have increased, while prices often are not remunerative. Crop failures due to various reasons create poverty. High health costs are another reason for rural poverty, due to lack of reasonable health facilities in rural areas.
Providing amenities and infrastructure in rural areas is seen as an important method to reduce rural poverty and reduce migration to crowded urban areas. The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Providing_Urban_Amenities_to_Rural_Areas PURA] idea of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._A.P.J._Abdul_Kalam ex President Dr Kalam] is one such.
