Answers
Steps to be taken by the government —
# Reduction in spoilage of food in food staples.
# Construction of infrastructure for better productivity like the introduction of rainwater harvesting, organic farming, loans at a low-interest rate, reliable electricity, better connectivity of urban and rural areas etc.
# Focus on the export of agricultural goods to strengthen the economy.
# Making laws to ensure more profit to farmers on produced goods.
# Subsidy only to the poor farmers, who have small or infertile land.
# 50% of the total workforce is in the agricultural sector but, it contributes only 23% of the total GDP. Hence, a significant deduction is required in the workforce. Improving industrial sectors will generate employment on a large scale. Hence, the per capita income will increase.
