ben and Ted are talking about the change of face of rural economy.

| did you know? That a good bullock now costs more than a Nano car! The rising fodder prices have pushed the cost of maintaining such a farm animal to anywhere upto Rs2,000 a month! | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Yes, there is a drastic change in the face of rural economy! | |

 | |  |
| In Dec.2010,tractor sales had touched record levels in the last 3 months of 2009 despite the fact that India had faced its worst monsoon in more than three decades and farm output had dropped 2.8%! | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Yes! tht is interesting! Did you know that around half the farm equipment used in India is still powered by animal power? Yet now, more machines are being used! | |

| Really?i heard, The millions who will escape the farm will need low-skilled jobs in modern businesses. Perhaps a majority of these jobs will have to come from factories in urban centres. | |
 | |  |
|
 |
 | |  |
| Bt anothr possibility is d creation of new jobs in the rural areas itself-in construction work, equipment prsrvation, rural srvices, transport n modrn supply chains tht link farmrs wid urban consumers | |
