 I think the Indian villages are the greatest strength of our country. Without villages there will no production of foods and grains, which is necessary for every human being..

Nearly 70% population of India lives in villages, they all are responsible for the prosperity of India in agricultural field. Farmers play a crucial role in the development of a country, if they will not produce food and grains, we have to import all theseitems from other countries and we have to pay extra money for that. There is a saying in hindi "JAI JAWAN JAI KISAAN" given by Lal Bahadur Shastri. According to him JAWAN & KISAAN are responsible for the growth, security and development of a country..

That's all from my side, you are welcome for your views.

Villages has been the backbone of Indian economy and despite concerted industrialisation in the last six decades, agriculture still occupies a place of pride.

It provides employment to 60% of the total workforce in country..

Indian culture has been source of raw materials to our leading industries like textile, sugar. jute, flour mills, vanaspati.

Many indirect industries or SSI like handloom, weaving, oil crushing, rice husking etc. together they account for 50% of income generated in the manufacuring sector in India.

Agriculture plays an important role in India's international trade. Agricultural products like tea, sugar, oil-seeds, tobacco, spices etc constitute the main items of export of India.

Agriculture is the main support for India's transport system which secures bulk of their business from the movement of agricultural products.

Sometimes it is the failure in the agriculture part that has led to the failure of economic planning in particular periods.

Agriculture growth has direct impact on poverty eradication.

It is also an important factor to control inflation, raising agricultural wages and for employment generation.

With fossil oil becoming increasingly expensive. ethanol is being used as alternative fuel. Corn, sugarcane, beetroot are increasingly being converted into ethanol & alcohol.

The new industries and the fast growing service sector, however fast they may grow, will not be able to provide adequate employment for the ever growing millions in India.

It was during the 2002-03 Five year plan when the failure of agriculture scetor spelt disaster to the entire planning process. thus any change in agriculture sector whether positive or negative has a multiplier effect on the entire economy.
