The document outlines India's new national agricultural policy announced in 2000. The policy aims to actualize untapped growth in Indian agriculture by promoting infrastructure, value addition, agribusiness, and biotechnology to achieve 4% annual growth over 20 years. It also seeks to boost exports, ensure food security and fair incomes for farmers, and address issues arising from economic reforms and globalization. The first national agricultural policy emerged in the 1960s in response to drought and war, and resulted in increased GDP, FDI, and exports.
