Villages across the nation are also marching towards prosperity thanks to the government's development schemes.
Did you know the richest village in Asia is not in China, Japan, or South Korea; it's in our own country?
A village in Gujarat’s Bhuj will change your perception of Indian villages forever.
Madhapur, dubbed Asia's richest village, is on the outskirts of Bhuj in Gujarat. It has a population of around 32,000 people, and this population boasts of holding fixed deposits worth ₹7,000 crore.
The village's prosperity is attributed to its 65% NRI (non-resident Indian) population, who deposit crores of rupees every year in local banks and post offices.
Madhapur, with approximately 20,000 houses, is a village of the Patel community. The village boasts of 17 banks, including HDFC Bank, SBI, PNB, Axis Bank, ICICI Bank, and Union Bank.
The significant deposits are primarily from NRI families who live in African countries where they dominate the construction business. Many residents also reside in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
