Abstract

In the constitution of India, Agriculture is defined to states of the country where they are obliged to and given the right to implement the agricultural policies. Central government also specifies the policies and provides monetary help to states for the implementation of agricultural policies but the decision of fully and partially utilizing the assistance lies with the state. It should be mentioned that the primary goal of the green revolution in India when it first began was to enhance agricultural productivity in order to make India self-sufficient in this area, but lately the tendency has changed to focus on income generation. Although the concept of using agriculture as a source of money is not new, this strategy has seriously damaged Indian agriculture's reputation as the use of chemical fertilizer increased. Following this observation, the government developed several efforts and laws to boost agricultural revenue while also encouraging sustainability and equitable food distribution.
