Agriculture sector is one of the most significant part of Indian economy
and at present it is among the top two farm producers in the world. As being
stated by the economic data of financial year 2020-21, agriculture has
acquired 18 percent of India's GDP. Agriculture is still the only largest
contributor to India's GDP even after a decline in the same in the agriculture
share of India. Agriculture also plays a significant role in the growth of
socioeconomic sector in India. India depends heavily on the agriculture
sector, especially on the food production unit after the 1960 crisis in food
sector. Natural resource base of agriculture, which provides sustainable
production, is shrinking and degrading, and is adversely affecting production
capacity of the ecosystem. However, demand for agriculture is rising rapidly
with increase in population and per capita income and growing demand from
industry sector. The ever increasing population of India is proportionally
shrinking the per capita availability of land which calls for a considerable
numbers of threats like natural factors, irrigation, availability of fertilizer, pest
and diseases etc. which drastically reduce the productivity and the overall
national agricultural productions. Since then, India has put a lot of effort to be
self-sufficient in the food production and this endeavor of India has led to the
green revolution. The green revolution came into existence with the aim to
improve the agriculture in India.
