5 points about tribal agriculture before independence and after independence
Answers
Answer:
Since independence India has made much progress in agriculture. Indian agriculture, which
grew at the rate of about 1 percent per annum during the fifty years before Independence,
has grown at the rate of about 2.6 percent per annum in the post-Independence era.
Expansion of area was the main source of growth in the period of fifties and sixties after
that the contribution of increased land area under agricultural production has declined over
time and increase in productivity became the main source of growth in agricultural
production. Another important facet of progress in agriculture is its success in eradicating of
its dependence on imported foodgrains. Indian agriculture has progressed not only in output
and yield terms but the structural changes have also contributed. All these developments in
Indian agriculture are contributed by a series of steps initiated by Indian Government.
