India is an agricultural country. It observes half of labour force for employment. In other words half of our population occupies agricultural activity for their livelihoods. It reveals that agricultural sector is an important sector of the economy. The written history of agriculture in India dates back to the Rigveda, written about 1100 BC. Today, India ranks second worldwide in farm output. During the year 2013-14, share of agricultural sector to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of India was 19.9 per cent . The economic contribution of agriculture to India's GDP is steadily declining with the country's broad-based economic growth.
