STEPS TAKEN FOR IMPROVEMENT OF AGRICULTURE IN INDIA| ALL ABOUT INDIA

 

 

                                                                                          Indian Agriculture    is fully dependent on monsoon rainfall which is irregular and uncertain hence irrigation is important for Indian agriculture. There are many problems in Indian agriculture like flood, lack of HYV seeds , lack of modern technology, low yield of crops per hectare , and many things but this problems have been overcome to a great extend by the following steps :

 

1.INCREASE IN AGRICULTURAL LAND:

We know that the population of India is increasing day by day therefore the lands are becoming less for humans to live. By this agricultural lands are also becoming less to cultivate. Hence our Government has found a solution that they are trying to bring the barren, infertile and reclaimed lands under cultivation.

 

2. PER CAPITA LAND:

Per capita land of the farmers have been increased by stopping fragmentation of land and starting co-operative farming to stop the decrease of land per capita.

 

3. HYV SEEDS:

High Yielding Variety of seeds are being used to increase the production of the crop . Example : HYV of cotton : MCU4, MCU5 , Sujata and HYV of wheat : Sonera 63, Sonera 64, Sona 227.

 

4. MODERN MACHINERIES:

Use of modern machineries like tractor, harvesters , winnowers , thresher , elevator , etc. increases the speed, quality and amount of work , hence it increases the production of crops.

 

5. IRRIGATION:

Indian agriculture is dependent of rainfall which is irregular and uncertain therefore irrigation is necessary to increase the production.

 

6. FERTILIZER AND PESTICIDES:

Use of chemical fertilizer and pesticide have helped to maintain the yield of the crops. “Fertilizer Corporation of India Limited”(FCI) and “Hindustan Fertilizer Corporation”(HFC) are the two organization established to produce fertilizer.

 

7.PROGRAMMES AND POLICIES:

The “Intensive Agricultural District Programmes”(IADP) or the “Package Programmes” have been taken up to look after the increase in agricultural product in India.

 

8. LOANS AND INSURANCES :

Easy loans and insurance coverage are provided to the farmers by the NABARD (National Bank for Agricultural and Rural Development)

 

9. RESEARCH:

Researches are the most important part of agriculture where new types of HYV seeds and many more things are researched. In India researches are being conducted continuously by the “Indian Council of Agricultural Research”(ICAR) for further development in agriculture.

 

10. GREEN REVOLUTION:

In 1964-65, the project taken up for the profuse increase in agricultural produce by the use of modern agricultural methods and infrastructure is known as the Green Revolution.
