Question

What are the efforts made by the government to modernise agriculture in India?

Answer 1

1. To begin with government took lead in providing various facilities on its own. In course of time different types of activities were entrusted to specific public agencies.

2. The government abolished the zamindari system. It was followed with the consolidation of small holdings to make them economically viable.

3. Another important input was the widespread use of radio and television for acquainting farmers in new and improved techniques of cultivation.

4. The crop insurance was another step to protect the farmers against losses caused by crop failure on account of natural calamities like drought, flood, hailstorm, cyclone, fire, diseases etc.
