Infrastructure in agriculture is too weak but its not just infrastructure which needs n overhauling but the entire sector requires restructuring if the country really needs to leap forward into double digit growth phase,also if it needs to pass on the fruits to growth to the last man the planners must come up with revolutionary changes in the entire sector.
Small land-holdings as a result of abolition of ZAMIDARI and generation change has added to increased stakeholders with increase in population .All this has made agricultural activity non remunerative.so. now is the time to give this sector a corporate look by deployment of farm machinery and converting small farming plots into unified large chunks with share based distribution of the end profit.The work force thus released could then be put to organized associated agro- industries like cattle breeding,dairy ,honey combing ,fisheries ,horti .For better returns - storage capacity has to be built almost from the scratch. Those districts which are plagued with regular droughts and floods must be converted into industrial zones and by doing so ,the often witnessed clashes for land takeover could be productively put to an end.Increased capacity for irrigation will sure help in betterment of lives many many millions and lessen the pressures on cities which are challenged year after year ,with their limited , capacities to continuously absorb huge migration pouring in for search of jobs.
