ABSTRACT
The Indian Agriculture has been an area with varied challenges. This sector is responsible for the growth rate and generating a per capita income. This sector generates a whopping 28% of the total GDP of India and over 15% of the total exports. This proves how a sound agricultural development is significant for the total economic progress. Almost 37 % of country’s total cultivated land has prosperous irrigation supply. But the other percentage is that of the rain fed land where it becomes a challenge to get a good yield because of instability and the gaps due to technology transfer.
The usage of Internet and phone technology can fill these gaps to a large extent. So in order to accomplish these challenges, we need to transfer the right and complete information to the farmers. A continuous two way interaction among the farmers and agricultural scientists will ensure agricultural extension. Currently, these issues are being addressed through State

    Pros of Green Revolution

    • 2 Pages

    With the rapid growth of our global population pouring into the next millennium, we will witness an ever-growing hunger rate around the world. That is unless we call for a revolution on the global scale. The Green Revolution which already sprouted in the early part of the century only need to add a bit more momentum and we will see a bright future for the human race, a future without hunger and starvation ¡V hopefully.<br><br>It is becoming increasingly difficult for the planet to support its overwhelming population. And since the amount of arable land available is becoming scarce, we must seek ways to dramatically improve crop yields of existing cropland. By implementing new farming techniques provided with the new technological advances in machines we can see abundant harvest in even the poorest third world countries. For example, the Green Revolution has already showed admirable progress in the northern part of India ever since it took start in 1950. By 1997, northern India increased its grain production by 37 percent. This has proven that traditional farming methods are being rendered obsolete. And because by the year 2000, there will be half the land per person in developing countries as there was in 1970, we need to apply ultra-efficient methods to sustain the growing need. <br><br>Not only does the Green Revolution enhances food output, it also preserves the environment. Traditional agriculture requires massive forest and grassland removal to obtain land necessary to farm on. Deforestation and overgrazing has caused erosion flooding, and enabled the expansion of deserts. But with drainage systems, leveling, and irrigation provided by the Green Rev, all this terra deforming will unlikely happen again. We can retain clean air and lessen the global warming effect caused by deforestation.<br><br>Many people argue that a revamp in agriculture will be way too expensive and unrealistic especially for those poor farmers in third world countries. However many times,…

    On the other hand the modern agriculture dominated by chemical and irrigation intensive farming system has not only raised productivity but simultaneously has also resulted in soil erosion, water contamination, pesticides poisoning, land degradation through water logging and soil salinity, depletion of bio-diversity, etc., forcing farmers to apply ever-increasing doses of fertilisers and to make water supply available on a continuous basis, in order to maintain the productivity levels. This again raises another challenge to Indian agriculture.…

India is a major importer of Iranian oil – the second largest after China – and has been able to get a US waiver on sanctions against Iran, in exchange for a reduction in Iranian oil imports.…

    Agriculture occupies an important position in India as it contributes nearly 30 per cent of the gross domestic product and provides employment to around two-thirds of the nation’s population. A large variety of tropical, sub-tropical and temperate crops are cultivated in the country supported by a climatically conducive growing environment, highly skilled manpower, extensive irrigation system, a well-developed extension and research and development network, and a large market for agro- products. The total net sown area in the country is around 143 million hectares, which is around 43 per cent of the geographical area. The net irrigated area is around 55 million hectares or 39 per cent of the net sown area. However, one important emerging feature of Indian agriculture is the increasing number of marginal (less than 1 ha) and small size holdings (1.0 to 2.0 ha). Between 1985-86 and 1990-91, the number of marginal holdings increased from 56.147 million to 63.389 million, while the small size holdings went up from 17.922 million to 20.092 million. Even the number of semi-medium size holdings increased during the same period from 13.252 million to 13.923 million. According to the 1990-91 Agricultural Census, 91.3 per cent of the total holdings in the country comprise marginal, small and semi-medium holdings which together account for 55.6 per cent of the operated area. This decreasing size of operated area often diminishes the efficiency of production…

    The benefits of the Green Revolution were evident till the early 1990s. Henceforth, however, the slowdown in agricultural growth became a major cause for concern. Currently, India’s rice yields are one-third of China’s and about half of that of Vietnam and Indonesia (true for most agricultural commodities). Bold action from policymakers will be required to shift away from the existing subsidy-based regime that is no longer sustainable, to build a solid foundation for a highly productive, internationally competitive and diversified agricultural sector.…
