India has a population of over 1.2 billion people and agriculture is crucial to its economy, providing 23% of GDP and employing 66% of the workforce. However, most farmers are subsistence farmers with little access to technology and markets. Some key issues facing Indian agriculture include population pressure leading to small and fragmented land holdings, inadequate irrigation, depleted soils, problems with food grain storage, and lack of modern farm implements. Genetically modified crops are proposed as a solution to increase agricultural revenues and strengthen the Indian economy by introducing genes that increase yields and resist pests and disease.

Cities are home to over half the world's population and account for most greenhouse gas emissions. As global hubs, cities should promote cultural diversity and heritage to develop economically, socially, and culturally. They must provide infrastructure and education to support creative economies in a sustainable way. The future of cities depends on serving community needs while maintaining a unique identity rooted in local heritage.
NITKSOCH
Agriculture in India faces problems like low productivity, small land holdings, and lack of implementation of policies. To address this, the document proposes building village networks, providing extensive training to farmers, and encouraging entrepreneurial investment. Farmers would be organized into groups and connected to companies to promote new technologies, access loans, and jointly invest in infrastructure like dairy farms and biogas plants. Public sector companies would also invest in contract farming and setting up processing facilities to industrialize villages and increase incomes. Regular training camps run by local facilitators would educate farmers on improved practices and new crops. This comprehensive solution aims to boost productivity, raise living standards, create jobs, and develop the agricultural sector.
