Agriculture and agro-based industries are backbone of Indian economy. With only 2.3% world geographical area and 4.2 % world water resources we are able to provide food and nutritional security to 17% of world population (1.3 billion Indians). Agriculture is not only providing food, vegetables, milk, fruits and spices/ medicinal to our people but it also provides raw materials to various industries (sugar, cotton, tea, rubber, coffee and jute).
