Question

where is intensive subsistence farming performed in India

Answer 1

Subsistence farming is to cultivate land for the purpose of feeding themselves and their families. Small land owners in developing countries or underdeveloped countries do that.
They eat the produce and sell or exchange excess produce for currecy or other goods needed to live. These farmers do not do farming as a business.
