Agriculture

Agriculture is the dominant sector of Indian economy, which determines the growth and sustainability. According to NSSO 70th round survey, cultivation of land is the primary source of income for almost 2/3rd (63.4%) of all the agricultural households.. Indian agriculture however, has milestones. The green revolution transformed India from a food deficient stage to a surplus food market. In a span of 3 decades, India became a net exporter of food grains. Remarkable results were achieved in the fields of dairying and oil seeds through white and yellow revolutions. The sector could not however maintain its growth momentum in the post green revolution years, the strategic growth in agriculture and the accelerated growth in industry reversed the structure of national GDP in Indian economy. Despite these major structural transformations, the agriculture sector continues to accommodate the major share of the workforce. The sector is prone to output fluctuations even after establishing better input facilities and technology like irrigation, High yielding seeds, changes in cropping pattern etc. Today the attention has been shifting to high-value crops from traditional crops. This is expected to enable a desired transition in Indian Agriculture from stagnation to a growth path. The competitive advantages that Indian agriculture possesses are (a) Favourable agro-climatic zones (b) Large irrigated lands (c) Gap between present productivity and potential productivity and (d) Availability of skilled, educated, technical and scientific manpower. To leverage the global competitive advantage, Indian agriculture needs intervention in the areas of policy, technology and market access. Given the socio economic importance of the agriculture sector, The Government of India has set for itself the ambitious target of ‘Doubling farm income by 2022’. The task will entail increasing output through improved input management and technology infusion, increasing value addition by reducing wastages and increasing the returns earned by farmers from agriculture and allied activities. Aligning its work with the Government’s agenda of ‘Doubling farm income by 2022’ CII National Council on Agriculture has identified the following focus areas – - Resolving policy issues in consultations with the government and policymakers through Core Group on Ease of Doing Business - Upgrading the technology quotient in agriculture through Core Group on Innovation and Technical Capabilities - Imparting specific skill sets to the agri work force through Core Group on Human Development - Ensuring long term sustainability of the agriculture eco system through Core Group on Sustainability Agriculture is the dominant sector of Indian economy, which determines the growth and sustainability.
