Indian agricultural policy

India's agricultural policy aims to support farmers, ensure food security, and promote sustainable growth. It includes measures like minimum support prices to protect farmers' income, procurement policies to stabilize markets, and initiatives to improve infrastructure and access to technology. Recent reforms focus on reducing reliance on government procurement, encouraging private investment, and introducing new farm laws to enhance efficiency. The policy balances the need to safeguard farmers' livelihoods with modernization efforts to boost productivity, while addressing challenges like climate change, market access, and rural development.
