Though india has minimum share in agriculture with respect to GDP but it has a large number of dependents on agriculture. In the recent times many schemes like MSP (minimum support price) PMFBY, PMKSY, e-Nam helps farmers a lot and thus timely and transparent implementation of schemes will help farmers to recover from financial burden soon.
