Description Agriculture, animal husbandry and fisheries provide maximum employment in the primary sector
and form the major source of income and livelihood security of about 70 percent of the population in
India. After the introduction of the liberalisation policy and giving thrust for the adoption of improved
technologies, there has been a spectacular increase in production in all these segments and the country
has witnessed a rapid structural change. Massive adoption of scientific inventions and technological
interventions witnessed revolutionary changes in all sectors of development and quality of life of
people. Achieving self-sufficiency on food front has been one of the finest Indian successes of the
post independence era. The food grain production increased four times (from 50.8 million tonnes
during 1950-51 to 198.7 million tonnes during 2000-01) since independence as compared to the
three-fold increase in population. Further significant advances have also been made in the production
of milk, fish, oilseeds, fruits and vegetables. In fisheries, the country has ushered in the blue revolution
with gross production reaching 5.6 million metric tonnes offish and edible invertebrates during 2000-
2001. India is the second largest Asian country in terms of culture fisheries and the third largest in
terms of capture fisheries (NAAS, 2001). Due to concerted efforts on strategic research and production
technology in oilseeds sector, the country witnessed yellow revolution with the production reaching
25 million tonnes per annum. This was possible as a result of strong agricultural research support
provided by the National Agricultural Research System (NARS).
