Indian Agriculture Vs Indian Farmers

Hi! friends,

We all know that 70% of Indian Population are dependent on Agriculture and Allied sector. But agriculture sector is lagging behind. There is rapid decline in agriculture GDP in Indian Economy. Why this is the situation, this is major question for all Indian People. Here I want to share with some thoughts.

Agriculture solely depends on natural weather and climate.That is why the maximum risk and uncertainty in agriculture sector. In this year monsoon came very late so there will be declined in cultivated areas of agricultural crops as well as less foodgrains production in this year with respect to previous year not only for rice crop but also pulse, sugar cane,maize, jwar, bajra and other crops like onion. Now central government is more concern toward the foodgrain stock for future consumption. But central government has been taken a major steps to provide subsidy in diesel, seeds,fertilizer, etc. so that farmers can grow more paddy and other crops.

NFED is going to plan to import these food grains from other countries like Tanzania, Turkey and Myanmar. Due to lack of rains in early showing season of pulse crop India is going to import 400,000 tonnes of pulse in the next three months to meet the deficit.There is huge reduction in production of onion crops. India is major exporter of onion crops but in this year only 130,000 tonnes of onion with respect to 170,000 tonnes in previous year. Therefore we can see what is the condition of Indian Agriculture.We will have to keep attention on that matter. This is not only responsibility of farmers to grow more crops and produce maximum production but this is the time for all either doctors, engineers,lawyer, scientists or other professionals to think about this.Because food is the primary objectives of each and every person.Now in India, there is unequal status between farmers and other professionals. We all will have to give attention that similar status should be given to the farmers( who satisfies our hungry) like doctors, engineers, lawyer and other professionals.All professionals should give attention to give similar status to the farmers and to have a duty to encourage for joining mainstream of society and should involved in Agriculture and allied sector directly or indirectly rather than ignoring them. Friends you are aware about formost richest person in the world i.e Bilgates. He is fully involved in uplifting the poor society perticularly HIV Positive patient. You know? a huge amount of money is given by Bilgates to the World Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development. Why Bilgates are doing a lot for world? He knows that I am a person who stisfies poor man`s problem. So friends it does not mean that you people will directly engage in Agriculture and Rural Development. You can associate indirectly in Agriculture and Rural Development. There are lot of people who working indirectly for rural people. There are lot of example who are working in rural ares to uplift the rural society build up his socio-economic condition. Now days Deep Joshy got a prize of Megasysaya Award because of he is social activist.

Therefore If we are keeping these things in mind then one day will come and we can say that India is excellence in each and every aspect of life.

Thanks,
