Abstract

The contribution of Indian agriculture is 17.4% to the country’s gross value added and approximately 55% of India’s population depends on agriculture employment (census 2011). Government of India took several actions for agriculture sustainability development programs, but due to effect of climate changes and natural disaster, the government could not meet the set targets. Due to deficient rainfall as well as non seasonal rains in past years (2014-1015), there was lower production of wheat (Approx. 860 Lakhs tonnes ) , rice ( Approx. 1000 Lakhs tonnes), pulses ( 170 lakhs tonnes) in comparison to year  2013-2014, which was highest production year i.e. wheat ( more than 920 lakhs tonnes ) , rice ( more than 1100 lakhs tonnes), pulse (190 lakhs tonnes). In year 2014-2015 there was overall less food grains production in comparison to year (2013-2014).
