India is a vast country with a vast population since the ages of her existence, it has seen many changes in indian economy. Let it be the time when india spent its days by being ruled by monarch and autocrats to the time, when india became independent agriculture has been the backbone of the entire indian economy. Now, India is focusing on a change, a change that has the potential of over turning the economy. So it's been the need of the hour to protect India's fourth pillar of the economy i.e. the agriculture and bio diversity.
The slow down in GDP from agriculture are now challenging food, shelter and income security of the BPL'S, who compromise the larger proportion of hungry and poor. The increasing climate change volatilizes have made the situation worse, firing the recent increase in incidences of hunger, poverty and malnutrition. Thus, to overcome the emerging unfavorable situations, suitable socio-economic reforms and application of the best of science, technology and innovations are needed.
Biological diversity underpins the very existence of human and animal life. The food we consume, the medicines we use, the culture and aesthetics we want to preserve around us the economic well being of almost all our businesses is all squarely dependent on this diversity. India is currently the world second largest producer of several dry fruits, agriculture based textile, pulses and numerous vegetables. India is one of the worlds five largest producers of livestock and poultry meat, with one of the fastest growth rates as of 2011census.
Bio diversity enhances many aspects of the economy and also creates many job opportunities. It is nonetheless to say that these better job opportunities and improved ways of living prosper our own country. In order to make its agriculture prosper, India should take few measure steps.
(A)HYBRIDIZATION : In India the use of hybrid seeds is still limited. Indian government should provide incentives to small as well as large scale farmers to buy HYU seeds. These seeds provide insurance to the farmers in case of any tragedy or financial crisis situation.
(B) DIGITIZATION : It includes the use of drones and self drove tractors. Drones would provide a better precision of land from a wide view. This would help in better yield from the crop. The government should focus on the weather fore cast to decrease the threats of crop failure.
(C) CHANGE IN CROPPING PATTERN : India should shift from growing of cereals crops to growing high value crops like jojoba and jatropha. This way india can support these crops and import cereals. This would provide better income and economic growth of india.
(D)NEW TECHNOLOGY : For irrigation still now traditional methods are used. India can take up drip irrigation and sprinkle system on a large scale
(E) EDUCATION AND TRAINING : Government should provide vocational training and proper guidance to farmers for better implementation.
There is no need to mention that agriculture is the base of the indian economy and human resources development. Prospered and flourished agriculture and bio diversity solve many problems like hunger, poverty and malnutrition. When an individual is subjected to better basic needs i.e. food, clothing and shelter it can be his show case his full potential requirements of life. It would enhance the subjects like tourism and cuisine. Change and education are required for development in a country like india where principles and traditions are worshipped like a god. But the true victory is a destination that comes after crossing the path of struggles. This would lead to the development of society as well as democratic country india to achieved its future goals and better vision of making digital and modern india.
