Agriculture is considered the backbone of the Indian economy. The existence of Indian agriculture is traced back to the Indus Valley culture. The importance of agriculture as a means of livelihood and trade in the pre-independence period is still alive today. Farming, once practiced in a traditional way, is now turning to modernity. If we look at this modernity from the Indian point of view, it is clear that the green revolution in the agricultural sector in the country after 1960 is a milestone. Going further, it can be seen that in 2007, the share of agriculture and allied sectors in the country's GDP was 16.6 percent. During the same period, 52% of the population in the country was engaged in agriculture. The share of agriculture in the country's 7 2.7 trillion economies in 2018-19 is about 15.9 percent and employment 49 percent. The dependence of the Indian people on agriculture and the contribution of the agricultural sector to the economic development of the country is declining day by day. The main objective of this research paper is to study the impact of the agricultural policies of this country so far and the plight of the farmers.

GDP from Agriculture in India decreased to 5683.74 INR Billion in the second quarter of 2025 from 6773.89 INR Billion in the first quarter of 2025. This dataset provides - India Gdp From Agriculture- actual values, historical data, forecast, chart, statistics, economic calendar and news.

India IN: GDP: % of GDP: Gross Value Added: Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing data was reported at 15.998 % in 2024. This records a decrease from the previous number of 16.639 % for 2023. India IN: GDP: % of GDP: Gross Value Added: Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing data is updated yearly, averaging 27.320 % from Mar 1961 (Median) to 2024, with 64 observations. The data reached an all-time high of 42.752 % in 1968 and a record low of 15.998 % in 2024. India IN: GDP: % of GDP: Gross Value Added: Agriculture, Forestry, and Fishing data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s India – Table IN.World Bank.WDI: Gross Domestic Product: Share of GDP. Agriculture, forestry, and fishing corresponds to ISIC divisions 1-3 and includes forestry, hunting, and fishing, as well as cultivation of crops and livestock production. Value added is the net output of a sector after adding up all outputs and subtracting intermediate inputs. It is calculated without making deductions for depreciation of fabricated assets or depletion and degradation of natural resources. The origin of value added is determined by the International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC), revision 4. Note: For VAB countries, gross value added at factor cost is used as the denominator.;World Bank national accounts data, and OECD National Accounts data files.;Weighted average;Note: Data for OECD countries are based on ISIC, revision 4.

Although the share of industry in GDP remained stable, it underwent significant fundamental changes. During this period, as a process of product restructuring, when a gross value was adjusted, production increased at current prices by 8 percent per annum. Then in 2004-09, the GDP growth rate increased to 20%. At the same prices, the annual but significant increase in employment was also 7.5 percent per annum. The work participation rate was 39.2 percent in 2009-10. Of these, 53 percent were in agriculture and the remaining 47 percent were in non-agricultural sectors. For the first time in the late 2000s, the number of perfect workers in the agricultural sector decreased. Unemployment in the economy as a whole has come down from 8.3 percent in 2004-05 to 6.6 percent in 2009-10. We can say that the Indian economy has performed well since 1991 but now the Indian economy is going through another turbulent period. The growth rate of the Indian economy has been slowing down since 2014. In addition to this, Kovid 19 has spread its legs in India and has slowed down the growth rate. The research paper will conclude the study of the Indian economy from 2014 to 2020, as well as three economic sectors.

Agriculture has been a major occupation of the Indian people since ancient times. Today 65% of the population is dependent on agriculture in various ways. The backbone of agriculture, once considered the backbone of the Indian economy, is crumbling today. The main reason for this is the neglect of agriculture by the government system and the newly started process of globalization. The rural economy that has survived is now on the brink of collapse due to the globalization process in agriculture, which is the only component of agriculture.By signing the WTO Agreement on January 1, 1995, India incorporated the agricultural sector into the process of globalization. In this regard, a secret agreement was reached between India and the United States on December 16, 1999, and India had to lift the numerical restrictions on its protected 715 agricultural commodities. The concept of globalization has been realized through the GATT Agreement, the Dunkel Proposal, the World Trade Organization, the International Monetary Fund, and the World Bank.

The Agricultural Marketing Information Network (AGMARKNET) dataset provides daily price and arrival information for more than 300 different commodities and over 1500 varieties of agricultural produce from wholesale markets across India. This comprehensive dataset is collected from Agricultural Produce Market Committees (APMCs) and covers 3246 markets as of April 28, 2023. The data is uploaded to the AGMARKNET portal, which provides easy access to commodity-wise, variety-wise daily prices and arrivals information. This information can be used to analyze the dynamics of agricultural markets, identify patterns and trends, and inform policymaking decisions. The dataset is a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, and market participants who need to understand the challenges facing India's agricultural sector, which plays a vital role in the country's economy and food security.

Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar was a great economist of modern India. He was a great son of Mother India. He is well known as the architect of the Indian Constitution. He excelled in various disciplines, from jurisprudence, sociology, political science to anthropology and comparative theology, and gained scholarly recognition. ‘He was also recognized as a great social reformer, human rights activist, savior of the downtrodden, academician, MP, and journalist.’Although agriculture is the backbone of the Indian economy, it has not been able to provide a secure livelihood for the majority of the population. Despite the ability of Indian agriculture to feed one-third of the Indian population, agriculture has not progressed. Dr. Land reform, land fragmentation, and partition are important issues in Ambedkar's economic thinking. In order to solve the problems of creation in the case of Indian agriculture, Dr. Ambedkar introduced land consolidation, collective farming, etc. Similar measures are stated. Dr. Ambedkar had emphasized the nationalization of agriculture to solve the problems related to agriculture. ‘Nationalization of agriculture will eliminate economic slavery and help create an economically prosperous state.

By raising the living standards of the farmers, they will get economic prosperity. 'All the above thoughts are important and shed light on the country's economy. Without the industrialization of agriculture, the problem of landless laborers will not be solved, said Dr. Ambedkar had an opinion. The separation of industries from agriculture is dangerous for the economy. The problem of farmers will be solved only if the agro-processing industries are expanded along with agriculture. "Industrialization, especially in rural areas, as well as improved agriculture will be used to provide employment to the workers of the country," he said. Ambedkar always thought so. Dr. Ambedkar has treated various questions of agriculture from an economic point of view. Not only sound education but his alertness and dedication too are most required.
