Acc. to Planning Commission, pple should spend less than 44 paise on fruits, 70 paise on sugar, 78 paise on salt and spices & another Rs 1.51 on other foods per day to qualify for the BPL list! Listen to this: Rs 39.70 per month is sufficient to stay healthy! No wonder, a wise guy once said: “Politicians are wonderful people as long as they stay away from things they don’t understand, such as working for a living or spending to live.”

Talking on agriculture, About 75% of the Indian population lives in rural areas and about 80% of this population is dependent on agriculture for its livelihood.Agriculture accounts for about 37% of the national income. The development of the rural areas and of agriculture and its allied activities thus becomes vital for the rapid development of the economy as a whole. Agricultural Productivity Even though India occupies the first or second position in the world in several crops in terms of area and production, it's rank in terms of productivity per hectare in the world is 52 for rice, 38 for wheat and much low in several other crops. The productivity of some crops is not only low but also remained stagnant over the years. The yield gap needs to be bridged through an integrated package of technology and agricultural policies to reap the untapped production potential, particularly, in rain-fed and other low productivity areas.
