    India has achieved a significant breakthrough in agricultural productivity after independence. Agriculture production increased by four folds from mere 50 MT during 1950 to that of 217.3 MT during 2006-07 (Anonymous, 2007). The population growth increased three folds during the corresponding period from 36 crores to 102 crores. The country has achieved self sufficiency in food and allied sectors such as milk, fish, fruits and vegetables. But the living condition of the farmers in particular and rural people in general did not improve. The GDP from agriculture and allied sectors has decreased considerably from 56 per cent during 1956 to 18.5 per cent in 2006-07 (Anonymous, 2007). This is a clear indication that the economy of rural people over the period has declined substantially. Among the many factors contributed for decline in the economy of the farmers are; inadequate backward and forward linkages more particularly lack of assured market and remunerative price for their produce, lack of timely information support system, indiscriminate use of certain inputs, declining soil productivity and environmental degradation have all contributed together for the continuous decline in the rural economy. The fragmentation and division of land holdings and unorganized farming sector have further added to declined economy. Farm youth of today
