We have to get back to our basics.
We are an Agriculture country. But we are not promoting it and not supporting much of research and development in agriculture. We must make co-operative system an effective one in agriculture. Like a village should form its own co-operative system to grow crops and sell it directly to the customers through its own system, so that the whole of the profit grows to the producers. Govt should come out with such a model, encourage this and support this system. Agriculture scientists and professionals should be directly involved in this. If this can be done and if we an have surplus agriculture products for export automatically we will grow. Other industries around this will grow.
When agriculture flourishes, price of essential commodities like food come down drastically. Other industries like transport, automobile, mechanical industries, road construction, (as usual) Computers, banks flourish around this. And thus an overall development will be achieved.
Instead we are trying to go in the reverse and trying to supplement the agriculture industry with others and are destroying that industry by taking away cultivable lands in the name of industrialisation.
