What to Focus On

  • Agriculture is the backbone of the Indian economy.
  • It provides food, fodder, raw materials, employment, and foreign exchange.
  • Agriculture contributes around 17-18% to GDP.

  • Indian agriculture depends heavily on monsoon rainfall.
  • Large-scale irrigation serves only one-third of crop area.
  • India grows many kinds of crops.

  • Kharif: sowing in June, harvesting in early November.
  • Rabi: ground preparation at the end of October or beginning of November, harvesting in March.
  • Zaid: summer crop season.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Agriculture in India is mainly dependent on irrigation and not on monsoon.

Subsistence farming means farming for sale in the market.
