New Agricultural Policy and Indian Farmers

Listed in DANS Data Station Social Sciences and Humanities

Agriculture is considered the backbone of the Indian economy.

Description

The existence of Indian agriculture is traced back to the Indus Valley culture. The importance of agriculture as a means of livelihood and trade in the pre-independence period is still alive today.

Farming, once practiced in a traditional way, is now turning to modernity. If we look at this modernity from the Indian point of view, it is clear that the green revolution in the agricultural sector in the country after 1960 is a milestone. Going further, it can be seen that in 2007, the share of agriculture and allied sectors in the country's GDP was 16.6 percent.

During the same period, 52% of the population in the country was engaged in agriculture. The share of agriculture in the country's 7 2.7 trillion economies in 2018-19 is about 15.9 percent and employment 49 percent. The dependence of the Indian people on agriculture and the contribution of the agricultural sector to the economic development of the country is declining day by day.

The main objective of this research paper is to study the impact of the agricultural policies of this country so far and the plight of the farmers.
