Problems in Indian Agriculture 1. Inherent Problem of irrigation: l 63% of arable land is rainfed. l Only 35 % of production come from that. 2. Fragmented land holdings: l Average size of land holdings declining. l 59% of operational land is marginal holdings i. e. less than 1 hectare.
3. Indiscriminate use of HYVs and declining productivity. l. Use of more inputs like fertilizers and pesticides. l. Reduction in soil fertility. l. Crop failures and suicides. 4. Structural problems. l. Limited liberalization in Agriculture. l. Dangerous shift towards cash crops. l. Need for sustainable growth.
Problems continued……. . 5. Lack of proper agricultural policies: l Reform in agriculture sector. l Open trade policies. l Weak agricultural research base. 6. Lack of Integrated approach towards Wasteland development l 175 mha of land under some degradation. l Overgrazing and overexploitation of land. l Long term investment required.
Suggestions: l l l l Proper post harvest technologies. Training centers for farmers. National centre for crop forecasting Integrated crop insurance schemes. Regeneration of wastelands at community level. Increase in plan allocation of Agriculture. Bring more area under irrigation through five year plans.
