Book: Comprehensive Indian Economy
Agriculture employs a significant portion of India’s workforce, though its GDP share has declined post-reforms. Key areas include crop diversification, irrigation, allied activities (dairy, fisheries), and government interventions like Minimum Support Price (MSP). Challenges persist: small landholdings, volatile monsoons, and inadequate market linkages. Green Revolution successes and subsequent missions—White Revolution, Blue Revolution—offer insights into sectoral transformations. For exams, note critical aspects like the Pradhan Mantri Fasal Bima Yojana (crop insurance), e-NAM (digital trading platforms), and the push for sustainable practices under climate stress. Reforms in agri-marketing and contract farming also feature in contemporary debates.
