Description India is primarily an agricultural country, and 80 per cent of the population
lives in about 5,76,000 villages. Agriculture and allied occupations provide livelihood
to about three-fourths of the population and contribute nearly one half of
the national income. The two outstanding features of agricultural production
are the wide variety of crops and the preponderance of food over non-food
crops, India is the fourth-largest grain producer in the world and has one of
the largest potentials of any nation for future increases in grain production. The
food grains production in India has more than doubled during the last 30 years.
In 1950 the food grain production was about 50 million tonnes, but in 1981-82
it reached 134 million tonnes. India's agricultural production has been growing
at the rate of 30% per annum.
