Financing the Bread Giver

Agriculture has been the traditional mainstay of the economy of India, since times immemorial. The practice of agriculture in primitive times was entirely different than what is practiced today. There has been a significant shift in needs of agriculture in modern times. Unlike primitive or ancient times, agriculture can no longer be practiced with the help of traditional techniques of agricultural and the obsolete equipments. Nowadays, agriculture is practiced on modern lines. Modern equipment has become essential for agriculture in present times. But agriculture is the sector which constantly remains in doldrums. Farmers fail to get enough finances to practice agriculture on modern lines. They constantly fall prey to the treacherous practices of traditional finance providers. The paper entitled, “Financing the Bread Giver” throws light on the demand for grants in agriculture in India and endeavors to put forward different types of financial provisions as given by the government to boost the agriculture of India.
