India has ever remained and shall ever remain a country of the farmers. India lives in the villages; hence it is that the village uplift with the increase in agricultural production alone can solve India’s economic problems.
Industrialization is the need of the times but in India the basic situation is that we cannot go on with industrialization at the cost of neglect of agriculture. Our agricultural development is the backbone of our economy.
Statistically studied by such expert, committees and organizations as the National Income Committee and the Central Statistical Organization it has been found that agricultural contributed to around 57 per cent towards the national income. These studies were conducted as far back as in 1950-51.
The First Five Year Plan (1951-56) placed before itself a two-fold objective — to check the economic disequilibrium caused by the World War II and the second was to begin the process of a balanced development which would ensure a rising national income.
Even the Planning Commission set up by the Government of India in 1950 also envisaged among its objectives the most effective and balanced utilization of the country’s resources’.
Even during the Third Five Year Plan due to the unscrupulous attitude of the trading community resorting to hoarding and black marketing, the situation did not see any improvement. Huge quantities of food grains had to be imported and the Indian economy suffered a setback.
But gradually with the introduction of the high-yield variety of seeds, use of fertilizers, and pesticides, improved agricultural techniques, mechanized farming, adoption of double and even multiple cropping practices, agricultural production was greatly improved with the agencies like the Food Corporation of India, the Fertilizer Corporation of India, the Warehousing Corporations and a number of Cooperative agencies, the Government was able to build up a strong marketing structure.
The food policy in the country has three essential instruments — production and supply of food grains, consumption of food grains and distribution of food grains. On all the three fronts, the leap forward was taken and success was achieved.
As with the latest statistical data 67 per cent of the population in India still depends upon agriculture, the national income and the national economy gets finally determined by how and what gets achieved in this sector.
Right from the Third Five Year Plan and now we have ushered into the Tenth Five Year Plan, all that was needed to be done has been done to boost up the agricultural economy. The emphasis on agricultural has always been there and never did our planners ignore this sector; rather gave this all the priority.
The ‘Intensive Agricultural Area Programme’ (IAAP), the National Seed Corporation, the Agricultural Prices Commission, the National Bank for Agricultural and Rural Development (NABARD) — all these were efforts for establishing a ‘self-reliant and self-generating economy’.
The other factor which had largely gone against the improvement in the economy of the marginal farmers is the over-population factor. Inspire of all programmes and all persuasions the family-planning has not succeeded that much in the rural areas, as it should have.
Still it is so encouraging to watch that Indian Agricultural economy has come to stand on its own legs and that is such a welcome sign in relation with the total national economy.
Even when an economic embargo got imposed after the Pokhran II test, the economy of the country has stood sound and stable. The agricultural management has much to be given a pat on the back for keeping the nation’s economy stable.
Agriculture has remained and shall remain the bulwark against all odds — that is the lesson that the country has come to learn.
