Agriculture in India, since ancient times is the most crucial sector for ensuring food and nutrition security. It is the key sector in India for generating employment opportunities for the vast majority of the population particularly in rural areas, agriculture is the backbone of the Indian economy, despite major emphasis on industrial development during the last for decades. Growth in agriculture not so good and it is real reason of worry. Need more investment, specially in water, agro-R & D, farm mechanization etc. Unfortunately the gross capital formation in agriculture which was 18.3% of agriculture GDP in 2012-13 has fallen to 14.8% in 2014-15. Agricultural development is the necessity to improve productivity, generate employment and provide a source of income to the poor segments of population. The pace of adoption of modern technology in India is slow and the farming practices are too haphazard and unscientific. Some of the basic issues for development of Indian agriculture sector are revitalization of cooperative institutions, improving rural credits, research, human resource development, trade and export promotion, land reforms and education. Future Prospects and Solution for India Agriculture sector is an important contributor to the Indian economy around which socioeconomic privileges and deprivations revolve and any change in its structure is likely to have a corresponding impact on the existing pattern of social equity. Sustainable agricultural production depends upon the efficient use of soil, water, livestock, plant genetics, forest, climate, rainfall and topology. Indian agriculture faces resource constraints, infrastructural constraints, institutional constraints, technological constraints and policy induced limitations.

Together with its allied sectors, agriculture is unquestionably the largest livelihood provider in India. This is of particular importance in the vast rural areas of the country. According to an estimate by The Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export Development Authority (APEDA), agriculture is the source of livelihood to approximately 47 per cent of the country’s population. Agriculture also contributes significantly (13.9%) to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of the nation and thus, plays vital role in the national economy. The Central Statistics Office (CSO) has estimated the share of agriculture (including allied sectors, viz. livestock, forestry and fisheries) being as much as 16.1 per cent of the Gross Value Added (GVA) during the year 2014–15 at 2011–12 prices. During the first quarter of the year 2016, agriculture and allied sectors have been reported to grow year-on-year at the rate of 1.9 per cent and thus, contributed 14.2 per cent of GVA.
