3. INTRODUCTION:
 Modern technology and intensive
marketing can the agriculturist exploit
both the domestic market as well as

harrow was necessary to smoothen the soil in
areas where the soil remained rough.
 In modern times , harrows are of varied types.
some are simply dragged behind a tractor or
draft animal;
 Some are suspended on wheels; many have
leavers to adjust the depth of the cut.

6. Impact of the Industrial Revolution On
Agriculture:
•Industrial revolution brought about drastic changes in the
farming process.
•Few of the inventions include:
Seed driller
Horse hoe
Reaper
Thresing machines
 Tractor

7. Irrigation Technology:
Electric and diesel pumps can be used to extract groundwater
for irrigating any large acres of land.
Treadle pump:
It is foot operated water lifting device & needed by small
farmers.
Drip Irrigation Technology:
It is a water saving technology which enables slow and regular
application of water directly to the root of the plants.

8. Finance or credit is an essential requirement for every
productive activity.
Types of agriculture finance:
Productive unproductive short-period medium- long term
credit credit credit period credit credit

9. The various sources of finance are as follows:-

2. Non-institutional

10. It consists funds available to the farmers by various

13. The growth rate of the agriculture sector in India GDP grew
after Independence. The government of India placed special
emphasis on the sector in its 5 yrs plan.
Years Total production(us $)
• 2001-2002 212 million tones
• 2002-2003 179.2million tones
• 2007 1.09 trillion

14. •The growth rate of India GDP was 9.4% in 06 -07.
•The Agriculture contributed around 18.6% to India GDP in
2005.
•In India GDP grew rate is 1.7% each year between 01-02 & 03-
04.

15. The various extension programmes are being held in the
various phases which are as follows:
:The first phase dates from 1948-1960,which includes
Grow More Food Campaign- 1948
Community Development Programme-1952
The 2nd phase (1960-1974),includes
 Intensive Agriculture District Programmes-1960
 Intensive Agriculture Areas Programmes-1966
 High Yielding Variety Programme-1966

16. The 3rd phase(1965-1979),includes
 National Demonstration Programme-1965
 Operational Research project-1971
 Lab To Land Programme-1979
The 4th phase ,introduced the World Bank aided training & Visit Approach

17.  India rank 2 worldwide in farm output
 Agriculture & allied sectors accounted for 16.6% of the
GDP in 2007.
 Yield per unit area of all crops have grown have grown
since 1950.
