Agriculture is predicted to have started over
4500 years ago. With a history of over 11,000
years, agriculture is undoubtedly the worlds
most vital and oldest occupation.

Dr. Uday Salunkhe, Group Director of WeSchool
mentions that one third of earths surface is
today used for agriculture. This provides
employment to nearly 50 of workforce of entire
mankind and 62 to Indian workforce in the
agricultural sector.

Agriculture sector contributes to about 341 of
National GDP, making India the 2nd largest rice
producer, largest milk producer and one of the
top countries to produce wheat. Due to our green
revolution programme, India has become the
largest cattle and live-stock holder country in
the world, informs Prof Dr Uday Salunkhe.

Today, agriculture accounts to 75 of Indian
rural population, contributing to 25 of GDP of
the country and thus becoming a key sector of
Indian economy. It further provides a food
security to population and major employment
opportunities to rural population, observes Uday
Salunkhe. Agricultural sector is a large
domestic market for manufactured goods accounting
to 13 of Indias exports, he adds.

Agriculture and industry can provide the engine
for a sustainable growth momentum. However, this
has not yet been achieved. In order to attain an
average of 7-8 annual growth, Uday Salunkhe
suggests a contribution of at least 15-16 per
cent growth in industry, 4-5 growth in
agriculture and 8-10 growth in services.
