Abstract

The Indian agriculture sector accounts for 14 per cent of India's gross domestic product (GDP) and employs just a little more than 50 per cent of the country's workforce. This sector has made considerable progress in the last few decades with its large resources of land, water and sunshine. India is presently the world's largest producer of pulses and the second largest producer of rice and wheat.
