Question

What kinds of facilities are provided in the agro-service centres?

Answer 1

Agriculture is a backbone of Indian economy. It has a critical role to play in the country's economic development. With ever increasing human population, there is an increasing demand to raise the production. There are two basic way of augmenting the production, first enlarging the area cultivated by expanding agriculture operation to virgin areas and secondly to increase the productivity of land already under cultivation. As there almost no scope to expand the cultivated area because the average size of operational holding is decreasing day by day due to pressure of population, therefore, the ultimate way of increasing production is to raise the productivity level. Among the all measures to raise the productivity level, plant protection is in central position.
