Abstract

Agricultural sector is the primary sector of the economy and it is the spring-board for overall development of a country. In the process of economic development, the tempo of development is initiated first in the primary sector which in turn facilitate the development in the secondary or industrial sector ultimately it develops the service sector. Developing countries like India where there is over population, it is a challenge for India to produce more food grain and enhance agricultural productivity so as to feed ever-growing population. That is why more outlay was allotted for agriculture during the first plan. Green Revolution was introduced and mechanization and modernization were encouraged. Specialized financial institutions like NABARD and lead bank schemes were introduced and implemented, to increase input-use efficiently in agriculture. With all these efforts still there is a gap between the demand for and supply of food grains production in Tamilnadu and India.
