 - Agricultural Situation in India  
 - 79(1), Apr, 2022: p.11-19 
<br/><br/> Agriculture continues to be the backbone of the rural economy and is a vital pillar of the national economy. This article presents a case study of the crops sector by focussing on rice and wheat and its associated activities. The paper also brings out factors which would help in diversification in these crops and also underlines the importance of policy implications. An innovative framework manifesting in the form of an ‘Agricultural Commission’ that would give just representation of medium-term interests aligned with the overall vision is suggested. This would involve the participation of all key stakeholders coming together to deliberate and execute implementation of vital reforms in a holistic manner to achieve its objectives in order to improve the efficiency of resource allocated, sharing of technical know-how also to align priorities in the context of political economy and federal set-up. – Reproduced
