| dc.description.abstract | At the time o f our Independence, Jawaharlal Nehru said, "Everything else can wait, hut not agriculture”. Unfortunately this profound truth is yet to be converted into concrete policies and action on an adequate scale. The geographical area o f India is 328.7 m illion hectares, net sown area is 142 million hectares and gross cropped area is 190 million hectares. According to 2001 census, the population of India is 1027 millions, of which 742 million constitutes rural population and 285 million constitutes urban population. Our country’s population is increasing at a rate o f 1.90 per cent. In our total population, 128 million constitutes cultivators, 107 million constitutes agricultural labourers and other workers constitute 167 million. Of the world’s six billion people, 2.8 billion live on less than two dollars a day, of whom 1.2 billion live on less than one dollar a day. Unemployment and underemployment are endem ic in the econom ies of the developing world and up to 815 million people are unable to obtain the food they need for an active and healthy life (FAO, 2001). Progress over the last ten years in reducing the number of people living in absolute poverty has been mixed. In East Asia and the Pacific, the number of people in absolute poverty has been reduced by 192 million, but the gains have not been evenly spread between countries. In Africa during the same period, the num ber actually rose by 58 million (Anonymous, 2002). Put crudely, almost half o f the world’s population does not have the socio-economic and political means to realize their economic and social rights. One of the m ajor causes o f poverty is the lack of viable livelihoods in the developing world. | en_US |
