Rural Development around Amarapura Township (1988-2006)
Moe Yin Yin
Rural people constitute 70 percent of the population of the Union of Myanmar. With the conviction that the entire country would develop only if the rural areas develop, the government has formulated and has been implementing five programmes for rural development. For the development of agriculture, which is the basis of the economy of the rural people of Amarapura Township, efforts were made to meet the targets for the cultivated areas under rainy-season and summer paddy cultivation under the encouragement and guidance of township authorities and with the close supervision of agricultural supervision committees. To supply the rural people with clean drinking water, tube-wells were drilled and hand pumps were provided in 166 villages in Amarapura township. To enable all the children of school age to acquire education and upgraded the educational standard, special efforts have been made to construct new school buildings and to renovate the old ones. Healthcare facilities for the rural people in Amarapura Township had been upgraded with the support of the government, with the participation of the people and with the contributions made by international organizations. This paper tries to present how the rural areas have been developing fast through the five programmes for rural development.
