Agriculture

Shri Pawar said that it is because of research and adoption of new technologies that India’s foodgrain production since 1950 has gone up four times, that of commercial crops by six times, fisheries nine times, milk six times and eggs 27 times. It is high time for our scientists to analyse problems being faced by the agriculture sector and evolve technologies appropriate for our country, which other developing nations can also adopt, he said.
