    There is one very famous quote which says, “Water is life’s mater and matrix, mother and medium. There is no life without water”. This quote highlights the importance of water and its value in sustenance of life on earth. It has multiple uses and each of them supports life, directly or indirectly. Even though 75 percent of our Earth is covered with water, less than two percent is fresh water. To make the matters worse, only about 1% is available as drinking water because two percent is frozen. (SSCWD, 2012). The facts above, at the very outset, bring about the priceless importance of water. Though once it was considered to be an endless natural resource, but lately due to endless pollution and drastic climate change the world is looking at a looming water crisis. Water resources have started depleting across the globe due to climatic changes which have been unleashed due to uncontrolled and unreasonable human activities.…

    India is a country that has a substantial stake in the agriculture sector and the fact that this sector alone is home to 72% of the population and employs around 60% of the population is enough to understand that Indian economy cannot grow without considering the needs of the agriculture sector. Agriculture has always been at the heart of the Indian economy but throughout India’s post independence history it has been a center piece for politics rather than empowering the farmers through proper tools, training and platform. ITC Limited’s International Business Division (IBD) tried to eliminate the very inefficiencies in this sector to some extent and was rather successful.…

    Agriculture plays an essential role in the process of economic development of less developed countries like India. Besides providing food to nation, agriculture was the main source of national income and occupation at the time of independence. Agriculture and allied activities contributed nearly 50 percent to India’s national income. Around 72 percent of total working population was engaged in agriculture. This confirms that Indian economy was a backward and agriculture based economy at the time of independence. After 64 years of independence, the share of agriculture in total national income declined from 50 percent in 1950 to 14.2 percent in 2010-11 (Economic Survey, 2011). But even today more than 60 percent of workforce is engaged in agriculture. In spite of this, it is also an important feature of agriculture that is to be noted that growth of other sectors and overall economy depends on the performance of agriculture to a considerable extent. Because of these reasons agriculture continues to be the dominant sector in Indian Economy. Since Independence India has made much progress in agriculture. Indian agriculture, which grew at the rate of about 1 percent per annum during the fifty years before independence, has grown at the…
