Agricultural growth is fuelled by several factors.

` Irrigation

` Infrastructure

` Technology` Public investment

These are the major source of growth during the

pre and post green revolution.


8/13

` Expansion of irrigation has been the main source ofgrowth

` Surface irrigation(Canal and tank irrigation)

` Ground water irrigation(tube well, dug well)

` 58% of ground water potential is exploited and totalarea under irrigated by ground water is 59%.

` Exploitation of ground water in large parts of thecountry reached a stage where sustainability of

production system is under threat.` Therefore conjunctive of surface and ground water

with higher water use efficiency should beencouraged.


9/13

` Hard core infrastructure- rural roads

market, storage godwons

` Soft-core infrastructure-

communication, agricultural developmentalthrough linking farmers with

markets, management of risk.


10/13

` High yielding varieties high rainfall systems of

eastern india,dry rained area.

` Technological innovation has contributed a lot like

Bt cotton, single cross hybrids in maize, ricehybrids, new varieties of vegetables .

` In livestock's and fisheries, animal health and

nutrition increase in cross-bred cattle, better

management practices have contributed to thegrowth of livestock and fisheries sector.


11/13

` Reallocation of farm productive resources such asland, capital ,farm equipments and paid lab our intonew activities.

` Diversification can be a response to opportunity and

threat.Opportunities- Changing consumer demand

` Changing demographics

` Export potentials

` Adding value` Changing market opportunities

` Improving nutrition

` Urbanization

` Risk

` Externals threats

` Domestic policy threats` Climate change

Population rich but land hungry country like India have no

option except to produce more food grains and other

agricultural commodities per units of land and water under

conditions of diminishing per capita availability of arable

land and irrigation water, and of expanding biotic and abiotic stresses. Such a challenge can be met only by

harnessing the best in frontier technologies and blending

them with our rich heritage of ecological prudence. Eco-

technologies for an Ever-green revolution should be thebottom line of our strategy to shape our agricultural future.
