Abstract
India is an agrarian country. About 86 per cent of operational holdings are small and marginal (less than 2 hectares) and their number is increasing over time due to subdivision and fragmentation. Average size of operational holding in India is 1.3 hectares. Out of total cultivated area about 60 per cent area is still dependent on rainfall for irrigation.
