This ppt is to give an overview of the agrarian economic structure in India. This presentation is for the higher secondary students of the humanities stream.
1. Agriculture is the backbone of the Indian economy, contributing around 16% to GDP and employing over 75% of the rural population.
2. India is the second largest producer of farm output globally and the largest producer of milk, cashews, coconuts, tea, and several other crops.
3. Agriculture has played a crucial role in meeting India's food needs and making the country self-sufficient in food grains production.
The document discusses the importance of agriculture in India's national economy. It notes that agriculture contributes a major share to India's national income, with over 70% of the population dependent on agriculture for their livelihood. While agriculture's contribution to the national income has decreased with industrialization, it still accounted for around 28% as recently as the 1930s. In contrast, developed countries like the US and Canada have agricultural contributions of only 3-5%. The document also outlines how agriculture supports industrial development by providing raw materials and how agricultural exports contribute significantly to international trade. It concludes that the prosperity of the country relies on the prosperity of the agricultural sector.

this is very good and help full for you all, and it will give you idea of contribution of agriculture to the national economy employment and output .
thank you....
The document discusses land preparation for agriculture. It states that land preparation is important to ensure the field is ready for planting by controlling weeds, recycling nutrients, and providing a soft soil mass. Land preparation can range from minimal tillage to completely puddling the soil. The document also mentions tools used for land preparation such as helping tools. It provides background on agriculture, noting that about 61% of Pakistan's population lives in villages and agriculture was not initially considered a commercial sector but now contributes 25.9% to GDP according to recent statistics.
This document summarizes the history and current status of agriculture in India. It discusses how agriculture began in India as early as 8000-5000 BCE and the development of irrigation systems by 4500 BCE. It then outlines key metrics on India's agricultural production and yields over recent decades, noting that while India is a major global producer, yields remain low due to factors like inadequate infrastructure and overregulation. The document concludes by describing several modern technologies that are being applied in Indian agriculture like smartphone-controlled irrigation, crop sensing, yield mapping, and use of IT systems.
Just a start-up kit . I have just entered into analysis . Actually the presentation is short of points that validates the current scenario but you can go for a study of declining agricultural population around 2000-2005.

Influence of Farmer Group Membership on the Practice of Improved Agricultural...paperpublications3
The study examined the influence of farmer group membership on the practice of improved agricultural technologies by farmers in Nyamusi division of Nyamira County. Multi-stage and stratified sampling techniques were applied for sample selection. Data collection was done by use of semi-structured questionnaires. Both descriptive and inferential statistical techniques were used for data analysis. Among the descriptive statistic techniques used included Mean, Standard Deviations and frequencies. For Inferential statistics, chi-square and cross tabulation were used to establish relationships between dependent and the independent variables. A total of 332 questionnaires were filled by the sampled farmers but only 304 were completely and adequately filled and analysed. The analysed data was presented using tables. From the analysis 229(75.3%) of the farmers belonged to a farmer group while 75(24.7%) were not members of any farmer group. The results indicated that the relationship was significant at 0.005 and 0.006 for the practice of greenhouse farming and Artificial insemination respectively. It can be concluded that membership in a farmer group increased the chance of a farmer practice of greenhouse farming and Artificial insemination. The study recommends that government should facilitate the Farmer Groups to transform their organizations into cooperatives in order to gain legal identify to transact business, increase their bargaining power and intensify their collective voices in policy engagement.
the role of science and technology in agricultural development of chinaMan Jorwal
The role of science and technology in China's agricultural development has increased significantly over time. The contribution of science and technology to agriculture has risen from 20% in 1949 to a target of 63% by 2020. Agricultural science and technologies in China have advanced in areas like biotechnology, breeding techniques, and hybrid crop varieties, with some reaching world-leading levels. For example, China is a top producer of genetically modified cotton and was an early adopter of transgenic crops. Additionally, China's usage of fertilizers and pesticides, though high, has supported a large rise in grain production over the decades.
Agriculture is a major part of Pakistan's economy, accounting for 26% of GDP and employing 44% of the labor force. Major crops include wheat, rice, maize, cotton, and sugarcane. However, agricultural yields are lower than international benchmarks due to problems like limited cultivated land, outdated farming methods, lack of infrastructure, waterlogging and salinity issues, and poor irrigation systems. To address these issues, solutions proposed include abolishing feudal land ownership practices, improving seed quality, constructing new dams, providing farmers access to modern machinery, and developing new agricultural policies tailored to small farmers.

It notes that agriculture makes up 30% of Bangladesh's GDP and employs 60% of the labor force. It then outlines several challenges facing Bangladesh's agricultural sector, including the loss of arable land, population growth, climate change, insufficient credit for farmers, and unfair produce prices. It analyzes these challenges and proposes solutions such as developing climate-resilient crops, encouraging farmers' cooperatives, and improving water conservation. The overall goal is to sustainably intensify and diversify agricultural production to meet nutritional needs amid population growth.
Agriculture is a major source of income and employment in Pakistan, with over 20% of GDP and 45% of the labor force coming from agriculture. Some key crops produced are wheat, rice, sugarcane, and cotton, which constitute around 75% of total crop production. However, agriculture in Pakistan faces challenges such as flooding, waterlogging, lack of irrigation, and inadequate transportation infrastructure. Improving control of water issues, providing more farmer training, and adopting modern techniques could help overcome these constraints.
Rethinking agricultural development,the caribbeanDebbie-Ann Hall
This document summarizes the evolution of thinking around agricultural development and reviews agricultural development strategies in the Caribbean. It traces how development thinking shifted from prioritizing industrialization to recognizing agriculture's role in economic growth. While early strategies in the Caribbean focused on import substitution and export crops, recognition is growing that agricultural development is essential for food security, economic growth, and poverty reduction. The challenges now are to craft new strategies that boost domestic food production through improved policies, infrastructure, research, and support for small farmers.
This document provides information about agriculture in developing countries. It discusses that agriculture in developing countries typically involves small family farms with low labor productivity. Farmers often engage in subsistence farming, growing crops mainly for home consumption rather than for commercial sale. Common practices include slash and burn agriculture where vegetation is cut and burned to provide nutrients to soil. Subsistence agriculture faces challenges like declining soil fertility over time and increased risk of erosion.
This document discusses different types of farming systems around the world and provides guidance for presenting on several case studies:
- It introduces several major types of farming systems to research and present on, including tropical plantation agriculture in Malaysia, extensive pastoralism in the Pampas, irrigation agriculture in the Nile Valley, intensive subsistence farming in the Ganges Valley, and intensive commercial mixed agriculture in the Netherlands.
- For each case study, the presentation should cover where it is located, how the farming system functions, and the key human and physical factors that influence the system and affect food production.
- The presentations will be short, around 3 slides and 3 minutes each, and should include a handout for the group
This research work examined the impact of Agriculture output on Economic Growth in Nigeria, with the objective of determining the relationship between the Agricultural sector and the Economic Growth rates in Nigeria. Thus, the research was aimed at examining the contributions of agriculture (value added) to the growth of the national economy, investigating government expenditure on agriculture in Nigeria, and determining the contributions of crop production from agriculture on the Nigerian economy. Data were collected from the World Bank Data base and CBN statistical bulletin. Co-Integration and Vector Error correction model techniques were employed as well as the Granger Causality test to determine the causality relationship between Agriculture and Economic Growth. As a result of the data collected, analyzed and interpreted, the research found that Agriculture has positive and long run impact on Economic Growth in Nigeria. The paper recommends amongst many other things that the Government of Nigeria should put in more efforts to diversify the Nigerian economy as the Nigerian agricultural sector currently suffers a lot of marginalization which has not enabled it to contribute more significantly as it should.
This document discusses strategies for boosting agricultural productivity in India. It notes that agriculture currently contributes only 13% to India's GDP despite 70% of the population depending on it for livelihood. Small landholdings, monsoon dependence, lack of infrastructure and technology are some key challenges. A SWOT analysis identifies strengths like biodiversity and arable land, as well as weaknesses such as low technology use. Proposed solutions include innovative farming techniques, youth involvement, entrepreneurship, improved market access, and developing human resources to overcome challenges. If implemented, these solutions could lead to benefits like increased output and farmer prosperity, as well as strengthening India's economy and global competitiveness.
1. The green revolution significantly increased agricultural production globally from the 1950s-1960s through new high-yielding crop varieties and use of fertilizers and irrigation. However, the green revolution failed to have a similar impact in Nigeria. Maize yields in Nigeria increased much more slowly than in the US from 1960-2017.
2. Reasons for Nigeria's failure include a lack of involvement of all stakeholders, weak agricultural policies that were not long-lasting or consistent between regional and national levels, and inadequate monitoring and evaluation of programs. Adoption of new technologies was also low due to issues like low soil fertility, lack of irrigation, and high input costs.
The document discusses agriculture in Pakistan. It notes that Pakistan has a rapidly growing population but wheat production has only increased 2.9 fold over 50 years. Agriculture contributes 24% to GDP and employs 47% of the labor force. Key crops include cotton, wheat, rice, sugarcane, fruits and vegetables. Recent declines are due to soil erosion, water wastage through flood irrigation, low yields, lack of credit and rising waterlogging and salinity. Improved mechanization, seeds, and use of tube wells can help boost agricultural production.
The document discusses several issues related to global and Indian food security including population growth, depletion of resources, loss of agricultural land, climate change impacts, dependence on fertilizers and imported seeds, post-harvest losses, water scarcity, impact of biofuels, and land acquisitions in developing countries for biofuel production. It advocates for restoring the agricultural cycle through organic farming practices, developing self-sufficient farms, shifting to more sustainable food and crop patterns, and greater community involvement in urban horticulture and conservation efforts.
Agricultural Sector in District Anantnag of J&K: A Shift from Producer to Con...ijtsrd
The district Anantnag right from its inception is known as the major supplier of agricultural produce, because major portion of population of the district comprised of rural areas and were involved in agricultural activities as their main source of income. The non-seriousness of authorities has forced the agricultural section of society to look for some other options. Within a short span of time rice and maize the major crops were replaced by fruit and willow plantation at a larger scale. This shift to new plantation has proved very beneficial as compared to other crops. Kashmiri apple has become very popular throughout the country. Its high demand has really opened the new ways of development. Similarly the willow cricket bats of Kashmir have earned the world reputation. The new module to a certain extent has revived the trade links of Kashmir. One the one hand it has proved to be fruitful business but on the other it has started to bring miseries in shortage of food and very soon people have to face the severe crisis of food. The food at present is procured from other parts of country. During earlier times people were producers, but at present they have become consumers. The authorities have never tried to improve the quality of main crops of valley that resulted in its decline. Dr. Syed Damsaz Ali Andrabi | Dr. Mohd.

Agriculture in India has a significant history. Today, India ranks second worldwide in farm output. The economic contribution of agriculture to India's GDP is steadily declining with the country's broad-based economic growth. Still, agriculture is demographically the broadest economic sector and plays a significant role in the overall socio-economic fabric of India.
Agriculture is the backbone of the Indian economy, contributing 16% to GDP and providing employment to over half of the workforce. It produces food for over 1 billion people and supplies raw materials to industries. Agriculture is the largest source of foreign exchange through exports of tea, cotton, spices and other commodities. While its economic contribution is declining with industrialization, agriculture will remain vital to India's development as the primary occupation in rural areas and source of food security.
Indian agriculture has been practiced since ancient times and remains an important sector of the Indian economy, with around 55% of the population still dependent on it. Some key features include small landholdings, dependence on monsoon rains, a variety of food and cash crops grown, and low productivity. However, government initiatives like the Green Revolution have increased crop yields significantly. Agriculture continues to be the backbone of India due to its economic and employment contributions, though complete mechanization and other improvements are still needed.
India relies heavily on agriculture, with two-thirds of the population engaged in farming activities. Agriculture produces most of India's food supply. India has three cropping seasons and grows a variety of crops including rice, wheat, and other food and non-food crops. However, relying primarily on monsoon rains and natural fertility poses challenges for feeding India's growing population. Various technological and institutional reforms have aimed to modernize Indian agriculture. While agriculture's economic contribution has declined, it still provides the livelihood for over 60% of Indians. The government works to ensure national food security through buffer stocks and a public distribution system. Globalization both historically and currently impacts Indian agriculture.

Agriculture is an important sector in Pakistan's economy, contributing approximately 24% to GDP. Major crops include wheat, rice, cotton, and sugarcane. Wheat and rice production have significantly increased due to the Green Revolution in the 1960s which introduced high-yielding varieties and improved farming techniques. Agriculture provides over 40% of employment in Pakistan and is the main source of foreign exchange earnings through exports of crops like cotton. The sector helps reduce poverty and unemployment while supplying critical food to the population.
Agriculture is the largest sector of the Indian economy, contributing 17.5% to GDP. The Green Revolution in the 1960s transformed India from famine to food security through high-yielding varieties of wheat and rice. However, Indian agriculture still faces weaknesses like climate variability and lack of capital. Opportunities exist in international markets and agro-industry. Political support through programs and minimum prices, as well as economic factors like credit availability, affect the sector. Technology adoption on issues like soil testing and irrigation can further boost Indian agriculture.
Crop diversification in India by Mr. Subramanian SSubramanianS95
This document discusses crop diversification in India. It notes that Indian agriculture is becoming increasingly influenced by economic factors like market prices. Crop choice is being driven more by economic incentives as infrastructure improves. Crop diversification allows for a wider variety of crops to be grown and reduces risk. Factors like government policies, market development, and profitability can induce farmers to shift to new crops. Diversification is also important in rainfed areas to mitigate drought risk. Overall crop patterns are changing in response to changing economic conditions.
The document discusses ways to improve Pakistan's agriculture sector and make it an engine of economic growth. It outlines several problems currently facing the sector, including limited cultivated land, low yields, lack of infrastructure and facilities, small farm sizes, outdated farming methods, insufficient research, and poor conditions for farmers. It then proposes solutions like using fertilizers and pesticides properly, establishing agro-based industries, increasing agricultural research, providing high-yielding seed varieties, setting reasonable crop prices, expanding mechanization, offering tax concessions for farm technology, and constructing dams and barrages for irrigation and flood control. The conclusion emphasizes that modernizing techniques, credit, infrastructure, and research are needed to address agriculture's problems and strengthen Pakistan's agrarian
India is considered as one of the fastest growing economies in the world. Agriculture is the mother of any economy, whether it is rich or poor. Much of its influence is on the other sectors of economy - industry and service. India is the second largest in farm output. Hence, India’s economic security continues to be predicated upon the agriculture sector, and the situation is not likely to change in the near future. Even today, the share of agriculture in employment is about 49% of the population, as against around 75% at the time of independence. In the same period, the contribution of agriculture and allied sector to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has fallen from 61% to 17% in 2015-16. Around 51% of India’s geographical area is already under cultivation as compared to 11% of the world average. China with lesser cultivable land produces double the food grains, i.e. 607 million tons in 2015 -16 as compared with India’s 252 million tons in 2015-16. The present cropping intensity of 136% has registered an increase of only 25% since independence. Further, rain fed dry lands constitute 65% of the total net sown area. There is also an unprecedented degradation of land (107 million ha) and groundwater resource, and also fall in the rate of growth of total factor productivity. This deceleration needs to be arrested and agricultural productivity has to be doubled to meet growing demands of the population by 2050. Natural resource base of agriculture, which provides for sustainable production, is shrinking and degrading, and is adversely affecting production capacity of the ecosystem. However, demand for agriculture is rising rapidly with increase in population and per capita income and growing demand from industry sector. There is, thus, an urgent need to identify severity of problem confronting agriculture sector to restore its vitality and put it back on higher growth trajectory. The problems, however, are surmountable, particularly when new tools of science and technology have started offering tremendous opportunities for application in agriculture. However, the country recorded impressive achievements in agriculture during three decades since the onset of green revolution in late sixties. This enabled the country to overcome widespread hunger and starvation; achieve self-sufficiency in food; reduce poverty and bring economic transformation in millions of rural families. The situation, however, started turning adverse for the sector around mid-nineties, with slowdown in growth rate of output, which then resulted in stagnation or even decline in farmers’ income leading to agrarian distress, which is spreading and turning more and more serious. This Paper attempts to focus attention on Issues, Challenges and Government policies of Indian Agriculture in the context of Globalization.
Agriculture before the Green Revolution was limited by lack of irrigation and technology, resulting in low and unpredictable crop yields. This caused global concerns about the ability to feed growing populations. After independence, India established agricultural institutions and saw some improvements but productivity remained low. The Green Revolution starting in the 1960s introduced high-yielding varieties of wheat and rice, irrigation projects, and chemical fertilizers, doubling food production in India and alleviating famine concerns. Agricultural advances after the Green Revolution continued to increase yields and crop diversification.

Agriculture plays a vital role in the Indian economy. Over 70% of rural households depend on agriculture and it contributed around 59% of national income in 1950-51. Agriculture is the primary source of food and provides regular supply to India's large population. India is the largest producer and exporter of many agricultural goods. While the economy is industrializing, agriculture will remain important for India's stability and strength.
The document discusses India's agriculture sector. It notes that agriculture is important to the Indian economy, employing over half of India's workforce and contributing 15% to GDP, despite a majority of farmers being small-scale or marginal. Key crops include rice, wheat, and fruits/vegetables. Agricultural growth has fluctuated over time periods. New policies are needed to support small farms, rainfed areas, and rural development for sustainable growth in the sector. The government has implemented various schemes to boost agriculture. Food processing and use of technology also present opportunities in Indian agriculture.
This document discusses the scope and importance of agriculture. It notes that agriculture is the most important enterprise in the world and utilizes natural resources to produce crops and livestock. It provides employment for 58% of the country's workforce and accounts for 16% of India's GDP. Agriculture also contributes significantly to the country's exports and acts as an important source of goods for rural markets. It ensures national food security. The document outlines seven branches of agriculture and their roles in crop production, horticulture, forestry, animal husbandry, fisheries, engineering, and home science. It emphasizes agriculture's importance through its contributions to the national income, employment, food supply, capital formation, industries, trade, government revenues, and labor needs.
Agriculture has played a significant role in India's history and economy. It has traditionally been one of the largest sectors, providing livelihoods for over half of the population and a major contributor to GDP, though its economic contribution is declining with growth in other sectors. The Green Revolution of the 1960s made India self-sufficient in food grains through the adoption of high-yielding varieties of seeds coupled with irrigation and other technologies, increasing yields dramatically. While Indian agriculture has made major advances, yields remain well below global best practices, and continued infrastructure and policy reforms could help further improve farm productivity and incomes.
This document discusses the history and importance of agriculture in India. It notes that while agriculture's contribution to India's GDP is declining with broader economic growth, it remains the largest employment sector and plays a significant role in socio-economic development. Key points covered include India ranking second globally in agricultural output, agriculture providing over 50% of employment, and its importance as a supplier of raw materials to industries and a market for industrial goods. Yield increases since the 1970s due to the Green Revolution are also summarized.
Agriculture has played a key role in India's development, though its contribution to GDP has declined with other sectors' growth. It remains the largest employer and provides livelihood for most of the population. Government policies since the 1960s have focused on increasing foodgrain production, leading to India's Green Revolution and self-sufficiency. While yields have increased significantly for many crops over the past decades, India's agricultural productivity remains lower than many other countries and losses after harvest are high due to inadequate infrastructure and supply chain issues.
