Abstract:
I. Product and Us uses
Since our country became independent, we
have made rapid progress in almost all the
fields. Agriculture is one of the occupations
on which about 70% of our population is
dependent. It also contributes the maximum
to our economy. On this point also we have
made tremendous progress under 'Green
Revolution'. Our gross agricultural out-put
has almost doubled in the past 15 years and
now we are one of grain surplus Nations of
the world.
All this has been possible because of changeover
from traditional farming methods to
modern mechanised farming using, different
types of agricultural machinery, chemicals,
fertilisers, insecticides, pesticides and use of
electric and oil power for irrigation
