Question

Which among the following is not responsible for the stagnation of agriculture in rural India?

• A. Lack of irrigation facilities
• B. Lack of transportation facilities
• C. Lack of human resources
• D. Lack of capital

Answer 1

The correct option is C Lack of human resources

One of the primary reasons behind rural poverty in India is the stagnation of the agricultural sector. Though a large portion of the rural population is engaged in this sector, it has achieved negligible growth. A major reason behind this is the lack of infrastructure facilities. Provisions for irrigation, electricity, and transportation are not well-developed to support the agricultural activities.
