AGRICULTURE –
THE BACKBONE OF INDIAN ECONOMY
“It is projected that India will need
to grow its agricultural output
by12% to feed its people in
2020. Much of this has to come
by growing more on the same
amount of land. This land,
however, is weakening and
withering” -----The Economic times in its edition
dated 12th July’2011.

India has an agriculture-based
economy.
43% of India’s territory remains
employed in agricultural activities
as against 11% in the world.
Sunshine hours and day length are
ideally suited for round the year
cultivation of crops.
There are 20 agro-climatic regions
and nearly 46 out of 60 soil types in
the country.
