| Abstract | Agriculture is a small and proportionally declining sector in the economy, with its share of GDP and total employment at 1.4% and 3.4% respectively in 2005 [1] (Figure 3.12.1). Farming is limited by a combination of climate, the length of the growing season and topography, and accounts for only around 20% of the total land area, which is low by comparison with many other OECD countries [2]. Farming is dominated by livestock production based on forage grazing and silage production. Livestock products account for approximately 75% of agricultural value added. Overall the volume of agricultural production has increased by almost 6% between 1990- 92 and 2002-04, but this has been mainly due to higher yields. Livestock numbers have declined for cattle (including dairy cattle), sheep, and poultry, risen slightly for horses used for recreational purposes, although the pig herd almost doubled in size. The decline in the livestock sector, especially sheep, is in part due to the reduction in market price support and export subsidies in the early 1990s [3, 4, 5]. Crop cultivation involves largely fodder crops (barley, and forage grasses), and a small horticultural sector mainly using greenhouses [6]. Although agriculture’s share in total water use was over 40% in 2001-03, there is no use of irrigation as farming is entirely rain-fed. With the overall decline in livestock numbers and decrease in inorganic fertiliser use by over 20%, but little change in the area farmed between 1990-92 and 2002-04, agricultural production is becoming more extensive (Figure 3.12.2). |

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.
