Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

  • Orthodoxy, illiteracy, superstitions and fear keep back youth from moving out or changing profession, caste and religion. Rural social norms have a big influence in preventing violation of traditional norms of rural society. The punishing authority of Panchayats also contributes towards keeping back rural youth from taking new initiatives or adopting any change.
