INSTITUTE OF DISTANCE EDUCATION ANAND AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY ANAND-388001 ABSTRACT The Indian agriculture sector is in innovation from traditional to commercial agriculture. India is the country where the half (52 per cent) of the population depending on agriculture. Modern agricultural practises and the relationship with environmental depletion is creating a problem. Some of the developmental challenges facing the Indian agriculture sector are illiteracy, weak socio-economic circumstances, lack of technological skills and understanding, limited holdings of land, modernisation leading to barren land and disasters leading to rural poverty, weather-dependent farming systems, low per capita income, underdeveloped physical infrastructure and inefficient bureaucratic procedures associated with the comparatively high cost of agricultural production. Any countries success primarily depends on research and technology growth and its productive use. New technology covering numerous areas, such as plant defence methods including biological and organic methods, new crop varieties with the desired specific norm, are being established by state agricultural universities along with other research organisations. New technologies are being established at the organisation level, but due to the lack of diffusion, farmers do not benefit from these technologies. The Gujarat State Fertilizers and Chemicals Ltd (GSFC) has regularly published Krishi Jivan Farm magazine (KJFM) in Gujarati and Hindi language.
