"Small holders have great advantage in terms of labour and supervision, much needed for quality, specific traits, and timely supply of farm produce. IMAGE: Fodder heads to the market in Surajpur, Bihar. Photograph:" Let us look at the photograph.How long distance he has to walk?Even to do daily supervision of a field how long and with how much difficulty he has to walk.How much time it takes ?The boarder lined between fields are not well maintained,not convenient to walk .It is broad day light under scorching sun.Snakes sneak out on the hedge between fields.The people working there drink the canel water also.May be due to such the work economics is also doesn't show it good light.These are some problems.Knowledgeable people in this field should look into these also.R.Ponnambalam

In India in 1930s top 1% earners captured 21% of total income.In the early 1980s that dropped to 6% income for top 1%.. The income share of India’s top 1% rose from approximately 6% in 1882 -1883 to above 10% a decade later and then to 15% in 2000 and further still around by 23% by 2014. Research paper by Thomas Piketty and Lucas Chancel web site WID.world The Privatization and Market Economy, RBI winking at balance sheet fudging by banks till upto 3 yrs back- reported in this site-Market Economy’s pampered child unrecovered bank loan, euphemistically nick named NPA have all contributed to this phenomenal income growth of top 1%.”Where do we stand on the ladder of equity? This is a question that citizens of the republic can ask the state after 70 years of legislating welfare laws and adjudicating measures to deliver social justice.""The ground reality is dismal," he(Hamid Ansari) said during the inaugural address at the 9th National Conference of the Indian Association of Lawyers here”.Can we ask how much out of that 23%income growth of top 1% got reinvested in India-ok 0.43 invested in agri. sector) and would the Govt. tell us.Or for this also should we have to look Credit Suisse, wealth research firm New World Wealth etc.Indian Economicsdom,can enlighten us.R.Ponnambalam

Its not about adapting to new technologies
by Jayaprakash Balan on Jan 05, 2018 12:56 PM

Differ with the views. Indian Agriculture is not suffering for want or adoption of any technologies or skilled manpower or anything. Its purely Govt. neglect and apathy and exploitation of farmers in all respects. Else we have such quality manpower in farming sector that if they are just helped with proper water provision, power provision and save from natural calamities and fury, Indian agriculture will thrive to be the best that can serve the world. All the suggestions are only excuses in not concentrating on Agriculture and fishing up all the budge for the same to individual pockets.
