ABSTRACT
Gandhiji considered the migration of educated youth from villages to towns and cities as the most serious form of brain drain adversely affecting rural India's development. The Yuva Kisans or young farmers can also help Women Self-help Groups to manufacture and sell the biological software essential for sustainable agriculture. Agri-clinics will provide the services needed during the production phase of farming, while the agri-business centre will cater to the needs of farm families during the post-harvest phase of agriculture. For this purpose, the young farmers should establish Gyan Chaupals or Village Knowledge Centres. Young farmers can organise mobile soil-cum-water quality testing work and go from village to village in the area of their operation and issue a Farm Health Passbook to every family. Educated youth can help to introduce in rural India the benefits of information, space, nuclear, bio- and eco-technologies.
