-Large scale urbanization has been a growing trend in the recent years with cities becoming the development centres, yet the rural economy still plays a major role in the overall development of any country. In a recent survey, nearly 69 percent of India's population lives in its villages, accounting for nearly 50% of the GDP of the nation. These rural areas range from being small settlements with less than 500 people to small towns. Similar scenarios exist in western countries also. In spite of their contribution to the economy, the smaller villages tend to receive less in the way of infrastructural investment. The key issues faced in these small villages revolve around a lack of reliable public transport system, emergency services and inadequate information about government subsidies for rural areas. Our idea is to extend the concept of Smart Cities to Smart Villages by utilizing recent technological developments and pay closer attention to the problems in these rural areas. Our solution in this paper is to introduce IoT technology to Huts in Villages through a straightforward demonstration of network of connected sensors and devices for information dissemination, managing energy usage and ensuring safety of the infrastructure. This enables us to address the basic requirements of domestic villagers.
