Hare Krishna, Your eagerness for association of devotees to advance in Krishna Consciousness is commendable. Srila Prabhupada was once asked the same question & he replied, "where there is no association of devotees, create one." As Radha Rasmayi mataji has suggested, you chant your rounds & read Bhagwad-Gita with sincerety. Ask your doubts here on this forum.
At the same time, once you become fixed then try to engage favourable people around you in chanting & reading BG. Try to invite devotees from nearby preaching centers to your village and have preaching programs. In this way you create association of devotees. This Hare Krishna is for all in every town & village.
May Krishna bless you with favourable situations in your genuine efforts.
as Radha Rasamayi (Rashmi Khaitan) has correctly stated, keep chanting, reading, once in a while meet the devotees in the city , then you may preach and nicely have association of the devotees that learn from you. Prabhupada said that he is always available through his books.
If we are sincere Krsna will definitely provide whatever is required for bringing us closer to Him. Please pray to Krsna, and He will bring you in association of His devotees. Easiest is to serve Tulasi Maharani, by her mercy we get devotional service. Meanwhile you can read and Hear lectures.

Hare Krsna Prabhuji,
PAMHO.
Chant your rounds with dedication and read Bhagawad Gita As It Is. Keep noting down your questions and you can ask on this forum also.
If you are sincere, Krsna will guide you surely.
Haribol,
Your servant,
Radha Rasamayi DD
