Indian agricultural policies

Indian agricultural policies have evolved to support farmers, increase food production, and ensure food security. Key initiatives include the Green Revolution, which promoted high-yield crops and modern farming techniques. The government provides minimum support prices (MSP) for certain crops to protect farmers from price fluctuations. Schemes like the Pradhan Mantri Kisan Samman Nidhi (PM-KISAN) offer financial aid to smallholder farmers. Overall, these policies aim to boost agricultural productivity, improve rural livelihoods, and address challenges like climate change and market access.
