When man came down from trees and began the life of hunters he had to travel far in his search for good game country. It is logical to assume that caves were his abodes then. The first cave man who observed the germination of thrown away fruit-seeds on his cave mouths and who consciously planted seeds and watched out of curiosity their growth was the first scientist and the first farmer. From then on it did not take much time for the nomads to become farmers and planters. Once agriculture was started, homes began to come into being. Thus emerged the settlements. It was his settling for agriculture that made homes a necessity. Settlement with homes was what led to the emergence of villages and in due course, towns.
When man was a nomad, all in his community had to take part in the hunting. Moreover in those nomadic set up, he had to hunt almost all days. So there was no leisure. When agriculture began, there came plentiness and prosperity and it generated leisure time. Society finally became able to afford a minority who did no work, but would just sit eat and think. Thus philosophers, statesmen and civilization made their appearance, without the leadership of whom the establishment of villages and towns would not have been possible.

The development of settled agriculture in India led to the growth of permanent villages and the accumulation of surplus food. This allowed for population growth, the establishment of social hierarchies, and the emergence of complex civilizations, such as the Harappan civilization. Agriculture also influenced cultural and technological advancements, shaping the trajectory of Indian societies.
One direct result of the development of agriculture was the rise of settled societies and permanent villages, as people no longer needed to be nomadic hunter-gatherers. Agriculture also led to population growth, establishment of social hierarchies, division of labor, and technological advancements such as irrigation and metal tools.
