Agriculture

What is the need?

Agriculture has always been and still continues to be main source of employment for majority of the Indian population. Same is the case for the tribal regions of southern Rajasthan where agriculture employs around 70% of total workforce. If we look around the tribal region of Udaipur district where most of the families are BPL (Below Poverty line), living in remote and deprived areas with small-marginal land holdings; where there is little or no access to infrastructural facilities and extension services. Most of the population is employed in agriculture, but because of obsolete techniques of farming coupled with poor quality of inputs, production is hardly fulfilling farmer's own requirement i.e. their agricultural produce is unable to produce sufficient income.
