agriculture development of India - Let's Crack It

AGRICULTURE DEVELOPMENT OF INDIA 

Agriculture is the main thing for the Indian economy . Nearly two-thirds of her population also depends directly and indirectly on the agriculture for its own livelihood. Some of the wider variety of the crops is grown in India. 

These will include some food grains as well as commercial crops , which can be serve as such raw materials for some Argo-based industries. 

India's favorable climatic conditions, and such extensive level plains , and fertile soils and some rivers to sustain such different varieties of the crops. 

MAIN FEATURES OF AGRICULTURE:

There are two main agriculture seasons in India that known as kharif and rabi. 

The kharif season always begins with such kind of arrival of such kind of monsoon. Crops are always sown in June or early July. 

Major types of kharif crops in India are rice, cotton, maize, millet's, groundnut and jute. 

The rabi season always begin after the monsoons. Crops are always sown in October-November are getting harvested in March-April. 

The major rabi crops are wheat , barley , gram, mustard, and linseed. 

In between , the rabi and the kharif seasons, there is such a short kind of season during the month of summer that known as the Zaid Season. 

Some of the crops grown during this seasons are watermelon,muskmelon and cucumber. 

Subsistence agriculture is also common in the most of the areas in India. Some of the small farmers grows food crops mainly for such domestic consumption. 

They just rarely grow any type pf cash crops. Even in some of the food grains production there is very surplus that have been for sale in many of the market. 

Intensive farming is also done as most of the landholdings that are small. Such excessive pressure of some the population on the land and the law of the inheritance that have led to the fragmentation of such kind of the landholdings. 

The large landholdings are just divided into plots on which so many types of crops are been cultivated. More than the three-fourth of the cultivated area is being devoted to such kind of food crops in order to get feed the ever-growing of population. 

Irrigation in India is also a dependent on the monsoon rains, which can be uncertain and kind of variable . Due to this , one there is one- third of the cultivated area that is irrigated. 

PROBLEMS OF INDIAN AGRICULTURE:

Agriculture productivity in India is about such a low due to number of some factors: 

● Lack of timely irrigation because of erratic monsoon rains in such different parts of the India that affect crop production. 

● Floods and droughts always damage crops. 

● Unchecked soil erosion always be removed fertile topsoil. 

● Some small landholdings are being uneconomical as modern farm that can be equipment and that cannot be used on them. 

● Farmers may be don not have surplus to invest in some of the new techniques or some special facilities that helps to grow cash crops. 

● Awareness of some of the modern facilities or some of the methods of farming is always less. 

● Credit and the marketing facilities in these kind of rural areas is always be insufficient. 

● Pests and diseases that harms the standing crops.

Many of the farmers that are now using modern methods of the cultivated instead of all the primitive tools , outdated methods of the cultivation and all the animals . 

AGRICULTURE REFORMS IN INDIA: 

After the Independence , India agriculture that has undergone in major changes. The government that has been placed on some emphasis on the developments of that agriculture the Zamindari System.  

Apart from abolishing such Zamindars, the introduction of the Green Revolution in India that have been gave a major boost to agricultural outputs. 

The Green Revolution was brought about by using all the three inputs: 

● high -yielding variety seeds 

● adequate irrigation water

● chemical fertilizers 

Land reforms , rural electrification and farm mechanization that have been further accelerated agriculture production. 

The production of some food grains, especially wheat, increased tremendously in the north India. 

The government has also adopted some of the other measures that has been improve agriculture in India:

● Irrigation facilities that has been provided in many of the villages and irrigation of some the projects that have been developed. 

● Electricity has been always supplied to some the rural areas to run the tube wells, threshers, etc. 

● High yielding variety (HYV) seeds and some of the modern machinery have been developed. 

● There is the minimum prices of the various crops are getting fixed each year which is so beneficial fir some of the small farmers. 

● Agricultural university has been set up to train some of the farmers in some modern techniques of farming. 

● Some rural banks and cooperatives have been always set up to provide all the credit facilities to farmers to invest in some modern farms machinery. 

● Marketing and the storage facilities for some of the crops are being improved. 

● Some special programmers for the farmers are aired on some of the radios and the television to educate them and solve their problems. 

All these steps are being taken by the government that have been successful in modernizing Indian agriculture to a large extent . 

Now it is moving forward , from some of the predominantly subsistence for the nature to a more commercial one. 

No longer depend on some of the import of all the food grains productions, even cash crops such as tea, cotton, tobacco, and species. 

A FARM IN INDIA: 

Here they employs some of the agricultural labors from the villages. 

The main crops are rice and wheat. Rice is sown in June, just before the monsoon starts. It gets harvested in October.

Wheat is always sown November and get harvested in April. Being made up of alluvial deposits , Soil is fertile and it get allow the farmers to grow a third crop, consisting of watermelons or cucumbers, during April-May. Some vegetables and the Legumes are also grown. 

The farmer sells these crops in a market in the nearby town . He always uses a bullock cart to transport his produce from the farm to the market. 

The economic condition of the farmer is being gradually improving  and his future prospects look good.
