    Agriculture: Role in Indian Economy

    Uploaded by

    Arshad Shaikh
    Agriculture plays a crucial role in India's predominantly rural economy. It is the primary source of employment and income for much of the population. Agriculture also contributes significantly to India's national income, earns foreign exchange through exports, and supports industrial development and trade networks. However, Indian agriculture suffers from low productivity due to factors such as high population pressure on limited arable land, lack of modern farming techniques and irrigation infrastructure, and outdated land ownership systems. Addressing these challenges is important for improving living standards across India.
