    Will India cease to be an agricultural nation?

    Since Singapore is not an agricultural nation, all of its food is imported from other nations.Many farmers' sons in India have also left agriculture to work for software companies.Farmers' sons, particularly in AP and TS, are heavily employed in a variety of software-related roles. Even though the governments are providing a lot of financial assistance to the farners and offering farmers son in software, the farmers are not producing anything and have a lot of debt. Many food commodities, particularly wheat and oil, are imported from China, Russia, and Ukraine.

    India has already ceased to be an agricultural economy. Like all other developed countries, the contribution of the services sector in the GDP has been steadily increasing in India and the contribution of agricultural sector is steadily decreasing, while the contribution of manufacturing sector has almost remained same.

    However, in India, a very large number of people are engaged in agricultural sector. This creates under employment. We have to reduce the number of people engaged in agricultural sector without any adverse effect on agricultural productivity.

    People are slowly showing interest in IT and other jobs and moving away from agricultural activities. That is why there is a lot of demand for agricultural workers in the villages of India. Mechanisation is picking up in agriculture is the order of the day. There are even drones that are being employed in the Agriculture sector.
    As mentioned by Partha, the manpower requirement in agricultural activities should be reduced to the minimum. Otherwise, farmers can't expect any profits from their activities.

    Since India is one of the most populous nations in the world and the majority of its farmers lack formal education, it is also very difficult to train all of them in agriculture using modern techniques and equipment like drones. As a result, crop productivity is low, and we import different essential food commodities from other countries. Why can't the farmer sons continue farming if they are somewhat educated to use modern equipment and techniques?
