Organize mock parliament in school, discuss in there about agricultural problems and remedies.

Following are the problems:

● The small size of cultivable lands, on which modern techniques of farming cannot be implemented and hence a reduction in productivity of the land.

● High population and no corresponding growth in the land for cultivation and hence decline in output.

● High dependence on rain for agriculture with lack of proper irrigation facilities and change in climate causing distress to the agricultural output.

● Failure of green revolution as it did not work in drier areas and was not extended to all crops.

● The decline in investment in irrigation and agricultural infrastructure.

● Lack of availability of credit to farmers from formal sources.

● Failure of government in providing right prices to the produce a lack of marketing infrastructure.

Following are the solutions:

● Increase investment in developing agricultural infrastructure, with proper irrigation facility and an urgent need for technological up- gradation in the agricultural sector.

● Providing easy sources of finance to farmers through formal institutions.

● Marketing and pricing reforms, creating an infrastructure where farmers can sell their produce at right prices.

● Providing crop insurance to farmers in case of failure of crops due to uncontrollable circumstances.

● Teaching new methods of cultivation and counselling farmers during the entire process of farming.

● Regulating the informal sector of finance.
