Abstract

Abstract The mainstay of India's economy is agriculture. Agriculture is the backbone of the Indian economy. Agriculture and allied sectors are unquestionably India's largest sources of revenue, particularly in the country's vast rural areas. Also, it contributes significantly to GDP of the country. Ultimately, generating a production surplus will require raising agricultural output. Agriculture, the main sector of the Indian economy, accounts for around 34.8 percent of the GDP and 66.7 percent of the working force. Agriculture is frequently referred to as one of the primary industries, along with forestry, mining, and fisheries. Agriculture is the pillar of the economy and provides the necessities for human survival, regardless of wealth, which attests to the significance of this sector. According to the histories of economic development of several sophisticated nations, the expansion of agriculture was, in part, what led to the rise of their secondary and tertiary sectors. The foundation of our nation is agriculture.
