THE ROLE OF AGRICULTURAL REFORMS IN INDIA'S ECONOMIC RESILIENCE

Abstract

Agricultural reforms have played a pivotal role in shaping India's economic resilience, particularly in the face of global challenges such as climate change, population growth, and economic fluctuations. By improving productivity, ensuring better market access, and fostering rural development, these reforms have contributed to sustained economic growth and poverty alleviation. The Indian government's initiatives, including deregulation, enhanced investment in rural infrastructure, and policy shifts towards sustainable farming practices, have strengthened the agricultural sector. This, in turn, has led to increased income for farmers, improved food security, and boosted the country's overall economic stability. However, there are ongoing challenges such as ensuring equitable access to resources and addressing the impacts of climate change. The paper emphasizes the need for continued innovation, policy support, and technological advancement to enhance the agricultural sector's contribution to India's economic resilience.
