Role of Student in Development of Our Nation

The National Agro-Food policy has incorporated strategies that are in line with the nutritional aspects of the food system. The programs implemented under the policy include increased food production through optimization and sustainable land, development and upgrading agriculture infrastructure and increase the quality and safety of food by expanding the compliance of standard. Efforts have also been taken to strengthen human capital and to ensure sufficient skill labor force in the agricultural sector. This includes the use of modern technology and mechanization to reduce the dependency of manpower. The government also provides sector-based incentives to encourage the private sector to invest in the agriculture and agro-based industry.

Although the results ultimately show that agriculture is complex and it is becoming more interdisciplinary. With this in mind, I think it is important to sustain agriculture, but I also feel that land grant colleges are integral to the industry. Although, I do agree with those who think that expanding the study and practice of agriculture beyond those institutions will provide more opportunities. The author of this journal has similar views in that, agriculture is important and everyone should understand where there food comes from. We simply need more research to fully understand both the curricular and co-curricular learning objectives. The research does however, demonstrate environmental and social sustainability, but I don’t think it is enough. Agriculture does play a very important role in our daily lives and we simply need to get students to understand by starting with the basics. The idea of agriculture projects in higher education is great, but I think there are more effective programs and ways to go about

protection. India is a land of villages. Nearly 65-70% of our country is agriculturists. About

There is no doubt that urban agriculture has many benefits people who are living in urban area especially fixing the food insecurity problem. According to the USDA Economic Research Service (2016), food insecurity can happened when a household loss access to fresh foods due the lack in social and low economic. When the population of people concentrated in an area with bad economic situation increases, it will later affects the employment opportunities and food insecurity might be a critical issue. This is supported by a

However, the concept of rural markets, in India, is still evolving and possesses like any other sector its own set of opportunities and challenges. The primary objective of this study will be understanding

Indian groups have adopted agriculture. The ability to grow crops has a huge implication for the

Throughout time, humans have pushed forward in every aspect in life in order to improve their living standards, wealth and most importantly the agricultural sector which is the base of every human race. Food is the basic requirement for any individual to stay alive and healthy. In an article by Tamsin McMahon, she states that over the past 60 years, the world population has grown from 2.5 billion to 7 billion while world hunger dropped from 40% down to 15% (McMahon T., July 2012). This shows that our agricultural advances through technology have helped control world hunger and decrease it by more than half, but this is a short-term solution if we want to consider the future generations that depend on our current actions toward the three main pillars of agriculture which are: Health and nutrition, Economy and sustainability all while considering the local small farms and corporate farms.

South Asia is one of the most densely populated regions of the world, where despite a slow growth, agriculture remains the backbone of rural economy as it employs one half to over 90 percent of the labor force. Both extensive and intensive policy measures for agriculture

Agenda Item 1 was agreed upon on May 26, 2013. The Rural Reform Agreement “focuses on the people, the small producer, land access and distribution, the fight against poverty, stimuli to agricultural and livestock production and the reactivation of the rural economy.” The success of this endeavor is critical to eliminating the

on agriculture, stresses on food self-sufficiency and employment to the rural people as the top priorities. Nevertheless, this food self-sufficiency is under strong constraints and handicaps, particularly from the massive rural population growth which consequently leading to illiteracy, ignorance, and backwardness. Besides, alarming also leading to land under cultivation is not only diminishing but also gets further fragmented, ecology degraded, infrastructural facilities do not match with the growth of rural population. This problem has been aggravated mainly by demographic pressure which leads to a large number of very small fields of the country and poor infrastructure facilities like water, electricity, transport, educational institutions, communication, health, warehousing etc. Unless these problems are strategically attended and pragmatic efforts are initiated, India, can’t flourish its rural areas and communities. Keeping these in view, the present paper tries to identify the impediments in implementing rural development programmes and pragmatic efforts to overcome them for ensuring equitable and sustainable development in rural

What should the priorities be for the improvement of rural development policy (with respect to both content and implementation)?

Formerly, the majorly cultivated crop in North Indus and Eastern Indus were wheat and rice respectively (Ladha et al., 2000). The adaptation and expansion of Rice-Wheat farming system occurred in India with the development of short duration varieties of rice and wheat during the Green Revolution (Timsina et al., 2001). The allied farming activity is livestock rearing in IGP. The livestock comprises 10% livelihood of rice-wheat based small farm holders in Indo-Gangetic plain (Erenstein et al., 2007) with an average 3.6 cow/household (Erenstein and Thorpe, 2010, cited in Erenstein 2011) .

Presently, the Act covers 626 districts of the country. Legislation of National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) and efforts at its subsequent implementation beginning the financial year 2006-07 mark a sharp departure from the past tradition, as the latter are designed around the basic concept of a rights based approach to development (Datta et al, 2009). Prior to this, India was following the needs based approach. So there was a paradigm shift in the approach to development with the launch of MGNREGA.

In essence, it is not understood whether it is based on the rural areas, the state, or the urban areas. Nonetheless, the changes in the relationships are thought to be based on the rural development in China over the last four decades.

One of the advantages in rural development is literacy rate is increasing in rural areas. The literacy rate of people in rural areas is poor if compare to the people who live in city. This is because there is less educational introduce in the rural areas. The rural areas are lack of educational because they do not have enough resources to construct educational building such as school. The children in rural areas should study to gain knowledge and get use of it. So, the advantage of rural development to the population is the literacy rate increase among the people in rural areas. When there is implementing of construction project, the most important building which must be constructed is school. This is to give convenient to the people to study and
