In Rural areas people depend more on Agriculture and its allied activities for their livelihood and income earning. The profession should be income basis for the individuals for lifelong in which they can meet their necessities properly. But as technology advances, mechanization is being implemented in agricultural activities. This results in unemployment problem in rural areas. So rural people have to get awareness about economic factors like demand, supply, price budget and understanding on the economic problems like inflation, poverty, unemployment, population growth, recession, corporate economic crimes etc keep the people distance from the bad effects and gives way to find the solutions to the problems. As globalization took place and WTO policies are affecting the agriculture and its allied sectors. Hence, employment opportunities and incomes of rural people also are being affected badly.
