| Abstract | Primary agriculture continues to play an important role in the economy, but there has been a major contraction of the sector over the period since 1990. Agriculture’s share of GDP declined from nearly 14% in 1989 down to just under 3% by 2004, while over the same period farming’s share of employment fell from around 17% to slightly over 5% by 2004 [1, 2, 3] (Figure 3.11.1). These changes are reflected in the –14% reduction in the volume of agricultural production (1990-92 to 2002-04), the largest decrease across OECD countries (Figure 3.11.2). Over the more recent period, from 2000 to 2005, production has increased slightly, especially for cereals, but declined for some livestock products, especially milk production [4]. The transition from a centrally planned to a market economy over the period 1990 to 2005 has had significant implications for agriculture. The fundamental change in political and social institutions as well as economic conditions, with a shift from a centrally planned to market economy, has affected how land use decisions are made, and led to extensive changes in farm ownership patterns, productivity and competitiveness [5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]. Overall the sharp fall in the volume of farm production during the early 1990s was induced by a major reduction in agricultural production and input support (see below), a drop in agricultural investment, and rising farm debt levels. Private family farms saw their share of the area farmed rise from around 15% in the early 1990s to over 50% by 2003-04, with a corresponding reduction in the share for large corporate farms (privatised successors of former state and co-operative farms) [11]. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
