No mission and No Vision
by desh joshi on Apr 17, 2008 07:17 PM

The story of Indian agriculture is like a Rudderless boat which is just afloat becoz of the tireless indian farmer.....and whose patience is fats running out...with more and more land fragmetation, farming has is subsistance ocuupation.....Farmers are tempted to sell there land to real estate brokers and enjoy with easy money and fair enough..If agriculture is not able to fullfill there needs why should they be the one to suffer the money they get by seeling there lans is enough for than to lead a comaprtaively comfortable life as compared to toiling in the fields.Government on its part is running a lot a Ag research institutes which do good for nothing research on crops ranging from Apples to Zucchini just to publish research reports but are infact bogus....There is an urgent need to trim the research institutes spending and start some purposeful ,targeted, result oriented research with help of talented and dedicated team of scientists to help bring a second GREEN REVOLUTION..oter wise my brethern i can forsee the sinking of the rudderless boat...get prepared for American BASMATI and Autrallian Apples, Chinese pears and SRILANKAN TEA....
