agriculture in Indiawith subheadings
Answers
Answer:
The “AGRICULTURE” and “Farmer” are one of the most underrated terms in INDIA.
Being an developing country, Indian agriculture sector accounts for 18 per cent of India's gross domestic product (GDP) and provides employment to 50% of the countries workforce.
Majority of Indians directly or indirectly are associated with Agriculture. Still the farmers lack the basic infrastructure for farming.
Starting from the irrigation facility to post harvest, procurement of seeds, marketing of produces , challenges faced by farmers are uncountable. The untimely monsoon (majority Agriculture depends on monsoon rains) creates a havoc in farmers life.
Though the diversity in Agriculture is diverse but the frequency of uncertainty is likely High.If also a farmer get a bumper production,the marketing,storage , processing losses are very high.
Though the industries associated with Agriculture are constantly growing but the condition of Agriculture is moving towards devastation (shocking!!!! But I can't find a more appropriate word).
For the life of a farmer, his sustainability becomes hard. The basic profit in Agriculture is merely 10% of the input cost (if the crop survives from the unlikely problems). And most likely due to the restricted land size the input cost hardly crosses ₹50,000. One can just guess the likely economic situation of a farmer.
According to some data the farmer suicide contribute to about 12% of total suicide in our country.In 2012, the National Crime Records Bureau of India reported 13,754 farmer suicides. Many still unreported for obvious reasons.
Under such favorable situation (sarcasm intended) why should not there be Diversion of agricultural land for non agricultural purpose where one can get a certainty.
Schemes come and go yet the farmers and farming community waiting to witness a massive positive impact on them.
