2. PROBLEMS
Lack of Agricultural
education and awareness
Obsolete machinery &
farming technology
Inadequate irrigation
facilities
• People being suspicious of new changes like the loan schemes introduced by the bank
• Farmer receives just 10 to 23 % of the price the Indian consumer pays for exactly the
same produce below 2 % per annum
• Adoption of modern agricultural practices and use of technology is inadequate,
hampered by ignorance of such practices, high costs and impracticality in the case of
small land holdings.
• 64 % of cultivated land is dependent on monsoons. & economic significance of irrigation
in India is namely, to reduce over dependence on monsoons, advanced agricultural
productivity, bringing more land under cultivation
3. Unstable policies of
government
• The promises made by the govt. before the elections fades away wid their
comissioningMinisters launch such trade policies where the farmers are hardly
benefitted,hence decreases their morale
Psychological attitude
towards farming
Agriculture sector competes with other sectors for land when the economy moves towards
industrialisation and production cost in the neighbouring countries is cheaper
Decreasing farm sizes and
industrialisation
• As per young minds it is concerned that farming is for the dropouts and for poor people
• Farmers are believed to be a lower strata of the society and would love to prefer white
collar jobs .
4. Encourage private
sector investment:
introduced several incentives
example, by encouraging the
production of quality and safe
product
onnecting geographically
dispersed people and enhance
two-way communication.
Farmer knowledge:
Establish national network
for demonstration &
training like Central training
institutes, Satellite training
institutes, Farm Schools
Develop , E-farming --
deliver expert advice &
training via rural knowledge
centres
Reorient Agricultral
Colleges to focus on
Production
Agriculture Deep chiseling should be
implemented the way it is done in
U.S. which is responsible for
absorbing the nutrients deeply.
5. Doubling or tripling
productivity per unit
area : can reduce the
cost per unit of
agricultural produce to
enhance farm incomes
and promote
international
competitiveness.
Doubling or tripling
farmer income by
balancing plant
nutrients in the soil to
optimize plant intake
of applied fertilisers,
safeguarding the
environment and
reducing soil
degradation.
Doubling or tripling water
use efficiency and reducing
salinization of irrigated
lands through land
preparation techniques that
harvest rainwater on
millions of acre while
reducing waste of irrigated
water.
• In India, soil is being tested for
only three nutrients.
• Without these 12 nutrients,
genetic potential of hybrid
seeds cannot be tapped.
• The same hybrid rice seed
generates 2.8 tons per hectare
in India, 5.4 tons in China & 8
tons in USA

8. • Strong linkage between research and field implementation &Easy
access of agricultural information
• These reduction in percentage of the workforce obviously that
employment in the agriculture sector contracted due to the increased use
of labour-saving technologies, thus causing labour shortage as local
labour force moved into economic sector for higher wages
• the beginning of mechanization in the sector and improved farm
management
• increaseS job opportunities and created alternative sources of income.
However, the total employment in the agricultural sector declined over
the years while those in manufacturing increased.
• Meets the Future Food Demands like Increase efficiency ,Produce more
food with same resources ,Conserve more natural, Produce a product
that is more affordable around the globe, Improve the lives of farmers
Profitability
IMAPCT OF PROPOSED SOLUTIONS
9. Challenges
2.Using electrical machines with advanced
technology instead of manpower and the
work is out with the to carried concern of
the old residents of the village who have the
knowledge of the soil affecting factors and
the land usage pattern.
1.Expensive equipments will be
imported which is a major issue
because it invoves buying of
equipments as per the dealer’s
choice along with paying different
kind of taxes
3.money must be invested by the
government in the field of
biotechnology by decreasing the
amount of investment done in the
production of artificial fertilisers and
pesticides and must replace them by
organic chemicals like in Europe
R&D is mandatory .
5.average age of living of the
farmers have reduced to 55 years
and concsecutively the suicides
have increased and hence we need
to put a strict measure by opening
small organisations consisting of
people from all the villages in india
4.Education no doubt is the backbone for a
developing country like us having thousands
of natural resources to be harnessed for a
better living where these days youth have
started refraining themselves from joining
agricultural institutes and stepping into R&D,
therefore NGO’s along with the industrialists
of our nation.
6.We must talk to IMF, World bank and
countries to libeaalise our agricultural
import and to give us subudies & provide
marketing assistance to our farmers.
