How agriculture changed in a remote tribal area after independence list different ways about it?

Answer 1

· Land alienation: Due to monetary economy and no source of income, the tribals mortgaged their lands.

· Indebtedness: They fell in the trap of moneylenders who charged them with high rates of interest and their inability to pay them off, the tribals were indebted.

· Bonded labour: To repay their debts, the tribals had to enter into contracts where they had to work as bonded labour.

· Difficulty in technology transfer: The tribals were habituated to shifting cultivation and they were not eqipped enough to take up the changes in the agricultures taking place in other parts of the country

Answer 2

Since independence, agriculture has changed a lot. Green revolution, a major breakthrough in agriculture, has occurred after independence, thus making India self sufficient in meeting its food needs, and has also enabled it to export wheat to other countries as well.

but now inndia has improved a lot the farmers are strting to grow more trees but now the trees from all over the world has been cut down there will be very much disasters haping there will be soil eroson

ok now India is not good in agricultere but in some parts of India you will be fasinated by the trees.

Answer 3

Before independence, agriculture in India was primarily been done for the purpose of one's survival and not for commercial use and was much backward. The agriculture was mostly suffering due to existence of zamindari system, less production, indebtedness, unavailability of quality seeds, chemicals, old and outdated methods of farming and land tenure system.

Answer 4

Prior to 1960, farmers in the country used to cultivate desi or traditional varieties of wheat and rice. These varieties had very low yield per hectare. In the period of 1950 and 1960, in order to increase the food production, the various agricultural inputs such as seeds, irrigation facilities, fertilizers and pesticides were systematically improved.

However, the improvement in the various agricultural input did not result in the corresponding increase in the food production. The traditional varieties of crops showed only a slight increase in yield in spite of the availability of water and fertilizers in the sufficient quantities. In other words, the desi varieties of crops did not respond well to the improved agricultural inputs such as water and fertilizers. As a result, we are not able to fulfill the requirements of our expanding population.

In the 1960's a great event occurred which revolutionised the agricultural production in our country. In this period, a team of agricultural scientists led by Dr. Norman E. Borlaug introduced successfully some new yield varieties of wheat in Mexico. These high yielding varieties of wheat known as Mexican varieties were introduced in our country, on experimental basis, in a few selected districts. Since the yield of these varieties was very high as compared to the traditional verities, more and more area was brought under cultivation of these Mexican varieties.

Later on, our scientists developed new high yielding varieties were better suited to our climate and soil conditions, and hence yielded a record production of wheat. This marked beginning of the Green Revolution. Thus, introduction of the improved high yielding varieties of wheat was the major factor, which led to the Green Revolution.

The high yielding varieties need better inputs such as water, fertilizers, frequent weeding and continuous use of pesticides. Therefore, in order to get the best outputs from these high yielding varieties all these inputs were considerably improved.

Answer 5

Farmers have been able to own more land and grow more crops. This led to a more developed society both agriculturally and economically.

Answer 6

It helped to fulfill the food grain requirements.

Answer 7

through green revolution
