Paper Details

The foundation of any economy is its agricultural sector, which supplies humanity's basic needs as well as the raw materials needed for industrialisation today. The agricultural sector is strategically important to a nation's process of economic growth. Its impact on the economic progress of both rich and developing nations has been substantial. The majority of people in India—roughly 67%—live in villages. Agriculture and associated activities are their main occupation. About sixteen percent (17%) of India's GDP and ten percent (10%) of its exports come from the agricultural sector. Approximately 60% of the workers in the nation is employed by it. More over 70% of Indians work in agriculture, making it the biggest and most significant economic sector.It implies that the output and production of agriculture contribute to the general economic development of the nations that are primarily agricultural. Moreover, with less capital input, agricultural productivity may be increased more quickly. After independence, India's agricultural sector became increasingly important as the country realised that growth in this sector was necessary for the country's economy to expand. Thus, the development of the agriculture sector was one of the primary goals of India's first five-year plan, which was centred on agricultural development. The nodal agency in charge of the growth of India's agriculture industry is the Department of Agriculture and Cooperation, which is a division of the Ministry of Agriculture. The Indian government implemented a number of measures to boost agricultural output, and the output of food grains grew as a result. For the majority of Indian families, agriculture is the primary source of income. India is the second-largest country in terms of overall arable land area, with over 60% of its land area being arable.
