AGRICULTURE THE BACKBONE OF INDIAN ECONOMY

It is projected that India will need

to grow its agricultural output by12% to feed its people in 2020. Much of this has to come by growing more on the same amount of land. This land, however, is weakening and withering -----The Economic times in its edition dated 12th July2011.

AGRICULTURE THE FUTURE IS HERE

India has an agriculture-based economy. 43% of Indias territory remains employed in agricultural activities as against 11% in the world.
Sunshine hours and day length are ideally suited for round the year cultivation of crops. There are 20 agro-climatic regions and nearly 46 out of 60 soil types in the country.

AGRICULTURE THE FUTURE IS HERE

Agricultural development is vital in our country since a vast majority of the workforce derive their livelihood from it. India has the potential to become the food supplier of the world. It has the cultivable land, all the seasons for production of all varieties of crops, fruits and vegetables, well developed agribusiness system that works in its own way.
