India is an agricultural country. About seventy percent of
our population depends on agriculture. One-third of our National income comes
from agriculture. Our economy is based on agriculture. The development of
agriculture has much to do with the economic welfare of our country. Agriculture
is the backbone of the Indian economy.
India lives in villages and agriculture is the soul of
Indian economy. India has the highest percentage of land under cultivation in
the world. It is the main source of earning livelihood of the people. Large
number of the population is also engaged in agro-based activities. Agriculture
meets the foods requirements of large population of India. It ensures food
security for the country. The productivity of the land has increased through
the years. Punjab government has developed some of the techniques which the
developed countries have been using for advanced agriculture technologies.
Punjab chief minister approved the modalities to establish
farmers’ advisory body, Punjab Kisan Vikas Chamber (PKVC), so that farmers can
have a tell and share their views related to agricultural activities in the
policies and programmes . The state government would initially give funds to
run the chamber till it became fully self-sustainable. It will provide better
results for farmers to sort all agricultural issues. This would help the
chamber contest their claims vigorously with the central and state governments
in a meaningful and result-oriented manner.
Agriculture pattern is changing are gradually growing more
importance in line with domestic demands and export requirements. Farmers have
been provided assistance for owning agricultural activities. Government is
taking every manner to promote rural development.
