Thanks, you have found a stable way to transfer government power, in China, the party found one also.
There will be always uneven there, in USA, east and west part are more advanced, the states in the middle US is a bit behind. In China also like this, but the central government takes 70% of government income while the local government get 30%, the central government is investing more money in poor province.
How about the first industry-Agriculture ? In 2000, the Chinese government claims there is no hunger in China, there are still some but in general, China produces enough food. How the agriculture is running in India ? Due to the high population, I understand the problems of hungers.
In China, all the land is owned by the Govt and many lands are ensured to do farm, if I am a farmer, I can get some refund from the Govt.
India still remains a primarily agricultural country with this single sector employing about 50% of the contry's total workforce,although contributing about 17% to National GDP.This share has reduced over the years although the net yield has increased over the years,showing the shift of country's dependency from agriculture to industries.
India is by and large a country with vast tracts of fertile land,with about 60% of its land area under agriculture,about 35% of which is under irrigation.Many massive irrigation projects are in progress,thanks to the increasing Union budget every year.
India is one of the largest producers of rice,wheat,cotton,tea/coffee and poultry& dairy products in the World.Each state in India has its own story.States like UP(Uttar Pradesh),Maharasthra,Andhra Pradesh excel in sugar-cane production,Punjab-Haryana produce rice and wheat,West Bengal has fertile tracts of land along many river banks ideal for rice production and so on and so forth.The states of Odissa,West-Bengal,Andhra,Kerala etc have good fisheries.
There is this controversy about whether the country produces enough to feed its ever-growing population or not.well studies have shown that the country produces enough to feed its population.The distribution,and storage may be a problem and at times it leads to hunger related problems.
Over the years,India has transformed from primarily a country exporting raw agricultural products into a country that exports processed agricultural products.As for example,although we produce large amounts of cotton and sugarcane in India,the processing capacity has grown much higher.So we import raw cotton and sugarcane from other countries and process them to produce cloth materials and sugar.
The methods for agriculture is still largely traditional owing to the large population of India although intensive form of agriculture have been employed in vast scales in states like punjab,Haryana,Tamilnadu,Andhra Pradesh,Karnataka etc.
Agriculture in India is a vast topic,we can go on and on about it.I hope this gives an outline of agriculture in India.Do ask me,if you need any specific information.
