Farm sector

This is with reference to the editorial, "For a second farm revolution" (Business Line, January 5). For India to prosper, so should agriculture.

How this can be achieved is a million dollar question. To sustain an economic growth envisaged at 8 per cent, the agricultural sector and allied activities has to necessarily register a minimum growth rate of 4 per cent. Considering the inflow of credit to this sector at present, the good monsoons and the focus on boosting it, the target seems achievable.

The rural economy needs IT and corporate governance. The financial inclusion now being talked about, will definitely motivate rural India.
