• Change is happening in rural India but it has still a long way to go
• Agriculture has benefited from improved farming techniques but the growth is not equitable
• Land use is changing in rural areas as farmers are getting good value for their holdings.The effort should be to stop the migration to urban areas
• The Government, the planners have to step up efforts to make a positive and equitable difference in the lives of the farmers’ and make agriculture occupy a pride of place in the nation’s economy.
