India is agriculture based country. More than 90 percent of the grains consumed in India are produced by itself only. The drawback of the lack of popularity and number of people indulged in India are very less because especially Indians don't find it so good or a low-class work but do not feel that farming and agriculture industry is the only industry which never gets any loss. Always the products are sold and consumed in the market within the most populous country in the world after China. Only, there is a need to change the system. It should be converted to a more industry-oriented field rather than a labour-oriented field. A large amount of the revenue can be collected by proper means of publicity and production which can be only possible if a person is educated at the far best level of knowledge and understanding of the field. Now, agriculture industry including water pumps, tractor, fertilizers have a good earning and offers a lot of jobs in India as well as abroad.
