Agriculture, considered the backbone of Indian economy, is in urgent need for improvement. To ensure high yields, government should allow private sector to enter and educate farmers about cooperative societies and better irrigation methods.
AGRICULTURE IS the backbone of the Indian economy because 75 per cent of India’s population depends on agriculture or agro-industries. Now, it has come to light that India’s economic growth is not keeping with the expectations because its agricultural growth is lagging behind.
For progressing on the agricultural front, we have to first of all ensure that all of India is irrigated and none of its area remains rain-fed because chemical fertilisers cannot be of much use in rain-fed areas to boost agriculture production. At present, a major part of India is rain-fed. To achieve quick and 100 per cent results in irrigation, we have to build small dams that cost less and yield results quickly.
Moreover, we have to implement the inter-linking of river project immediately to ensure 100 per cent irrigation and to escape the wraths of both floods and droughts. Our watershed programmes, too, need to be implemented quickly. Most of the land is in the hands of small and marginal farmers, who cannot afford costly inputs like fertilisers, better seeds, tractors and machineries for agriculture, and thus, have to depend on credit. They also do not get enough returns for their products because they do not know agricultural marketing. In this regard, we have to treat agriculture as industry and open it to corporate world that can afford to buy these costly inputs and can employ the small and marginal farmers as their employees.
