This study is mainly considered on how effective service
centres have to the provision at service facilities to rural
villagers. To see the role of service centres, three main
activities have been studied: the economic, social and
non-agricultural. employment.
The economic activities deal with the transactions of rural. people to service centres and the non-agricultural
employment with the
mobilization of non-agricultural. employment that search tor job in service centres.
The findings show that the service centres have the ability·
to provide service facilities to the nearby community for both
economic and social activities of the villagers for both economic
and social activities of the villagers while they could not serve much to those who stay at the farther distances. For non-agricultural employment, the service centres have served the
