Writw the 3 problems of indian agriculture.
Answers
Answer:
Some of the major problems and their possible solutions have been discussed as follows. Indian agriculture is plagued by several problems; some of them are natural and some others are manmade.
1. Small and fragmented land-holdings:
The seemingly abundance of net sown area of 141.2 million hectares and total cropped area of 189.7 million hectares (1999-2000) pales into insignificance when we see that it is divided into economically unviable small and scattered holdings.
2. Seeds:
Seed is a critical and basic input for attaining higher crop yields and sustained growth in agricultural production. Distribution of assured quality seed is as critical as the production of such seeds. Unfortunately, good quality seeds are out of reach of the majority of farmers, especially small and marginal farmers mainly because of exorbitant prices of better seeds.
3. Manures, Fertilizers and Biocides:
Indian soils have been used for growing crops over thousands of years without caring much for replenishing. This has led to depletion and exhaustion of soils resulting in their low productivity. The average yields of almost all the crops are among t e lowest in the world. This is a serious problem which can be solved by using more manures and fertilizers.
4. Irrigation:
Although India is the second largest irrigated country of the world after China, only one-third of the cropped area is under irrigation. Irrigation is the most important agricultural input in a tropical monsoon country like India where rainfall is uncertain, unreliable and erratic India cannot achieve sustained progress in agriculture unless and until more than half of the cropped area is brought under assured irrigation.
5. Lack of mechanisation:
In spite of the large scale mechanisation of agriculture in some parts of the country, most of the agricultural operations in larger parts are carried on by human hand using simple and conventional tools and implements like wooden plough, sickle, etc
ANSWER
______________________________________
The three probelems of Indian agriculture are as follows :-
______________________________________
•Rapid growth of population :-
The increasing preassure of rapid growth of population on the limited supply of cultivable land has resulted in the sub-division of land holdings and unfavourable land -man ratio.
______________________________________
•Defective land tenure system :-
Land Tenure system in India is totally defective and it is standing in the way of it's agriculture developement. Even After the abolition of zamindari system and enactment of tenancy legislations.
______________________________________
•Uneconomic Holdings :-
According to national survey 52% holdings has a size of less than 2 hectares. Every cent of total holdings fall under this category.Most of these holdings are not soo small they are also fragmanted into a number of tiny plots.
