Question

What made India realise the need for Agricultural reforms?

• A. Dependence on other countries for food.
• B. Surplus crops were available.
• C. When the monsoon failed, agriculture also failed.
• D. India was becoming industrialised.

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (C)

When the monsoon failed, agriculture also failed.

When the monsoon failed, agriculture also failed. This often forced India to import grains from outside, which meant that Indians were dependent on other countries for a basic item like food. Therefore it was important for the government to develop our agriculture sector. In order to do so, reforms were brought in.
