According to me, The development worker simply speeds up the process of development.
Development is already going on in villages. So, what else is our role in it?
Talking of Rural Kiosks, which aim to provide Computer and Internet facilities to he rural people. When one thinks of the future, it is easy to see that five years hence, there will be homes in the villages with computers and internet connection. Broadband is now available in many villages, one just has to apply. Relaible elecricity is not far off. How long before someone decides to buy a computer for his kids' education. And the snowball effect shall start.
But, these things take their own time. Five years, ten years, natural development happens at a gradual pace.
The role of we, rural development persons, might be to hasten this process of development. In the process, we face the brunt of the problems that cause delay in the natural development process. So, expect the Broadband connection to be delayed, electricity to be erratic and computer service to be difficult. But, what's important to understand is that without these problems, natural development would have taken place.
