“‘Erratic monsoon’ and ‘Indebtedness’ are the major problems of Indian agriculture.”
Suggest and explain the measures to overcome these problems.
Indian agriculture is suffered by several problems; some of them are natural and some others are manmade.
1. In India rainfall is uncertain, unreliable and erratic hence agriculture cannot achieve sustained progress until more than half of the cropped area is brought under assured irrigation.
2. Agriculture is an important industry and like all other industries, it also requires capital. The role of capital input is becoming more and more important with the advancement of farm technology.
3. The farmers are not inclined towards institutional lending. They rely upon money lenders who charge high interest rates and when incompetent in repaying the lands of the farmers are taken. This is the major cause of indebtedness.
