what is the role played by the various departments and ministries in running the government
Answers
The direct involvement of the government towards the country’s development is summarised below:
(a) Agricultural Growth:
India is an agro-based country. The main occupation of the Indians is agriculture and its allied activities like farming, poultry, cattle rearing, fishing, animal husbandry etc. According to recent statistics, about 67 per cent of the labour force in India is engaged in agriculture. They are producing about 22 per cent of the country’s GDP (Gross Domestic Product).
However, due to defective planning and improper implementation the productivity of Indian agriculture is very poor. Improper land tenure system, wrong landholding inadequate credit system, primitive technology and old system of ploughing and irrigation etc. are the main reasons behind low productivity of Indian agriculture. To overcome all these difficulties, government adopts several measures, including land reforms, new tenancy system, economic subsidy etc. for the growth of per hectare agricultural production.
irect Role:
The government is a social-welfare organisation. It works for the benefits of the common people without making any motive to maximise profit.
Hence, the main agenda of the government is welfare maximisation.
