&lt;br /&gt;
In every Union Budget presentation, agriculture is given a place of prominence. This is not surprising, given that 50% of India&amp;rsquo;s population is dependent on agriculture. Budget 2017 was no different. Both the Economic Survey and the Budget speech stressed heavily on improving agricultural infrastructure and augmenting farmer incomes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The key drivers expected to set this off are areas such as investment in irrigation infrastructure, development of mandis and market infrastructure for small landholders, better market linkages and a thrust on improving the dairy sector. The combination of these efforts, along with effective administration, shows enormous potential to move toward a paradigm where the focus on income can translate into long-term, healthy development of the farm sector.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Considering that India is home to 17% of the world&amp;rsquo;s human population, 15% of livestock and only 4% of the world&amp;rsquo;s water, the focus on irrigation is important. The Budget promises an additional allocation of Rs. 20,000 crore to the long-term irrigation fund set up by the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (Nabard), and also introduces amicro irrigation fund with an initial corpus of Rs. 5,000 crore. This will especially help the farmers in rainfed areas, whose farming is often a gamble on monsoon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To accelerate access to credit services, GoI has set a target of Rs. 10 lakh crore as credit to farmers with participation by both the Union and state governments. This, along with the end of the two-year drought, has set expectations for this year&amp;rsquo;s agricultural growth to increase to 4.1% as opposed to mere 1.2% last year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An increase in production alone does not always translate into higher income for farmers. It is only when production is supported by organised market structures and opportunity that an environment of growth is possible. This long overdue focus on income can equip the farmer with tools for a healthy integration in the present economic and sociopolitical context.&lt;br /&gt;

The Budget promises an additional allocation of Rs. 20,000 crore to the long-term irrigation fund set up by the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (Nabard), and also introduces amicro irrigation fund with an initial corpus of Rs. 5,000 crore. This will especially help the farmers in rainfed areas, whose farming is often a gamble on monsoon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To accelerate access to credit services, GoI has set a target of Rs. 10 lakh crore as credit to farmers with participation by both the Union and state governments. This, along with the end of the two-year drought, has set expectations for this year&amp;rsquo;s agricultural growth to increase to 4.1% as opposed to mere 1.2% last year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An increase in production alone does not always translate into higher income for farmers. It is only when production is supported by organised market structures and opportunity that an environment of growth is possible. This long overdue focus on income can equip the farmer with tools for a healthy integration in the present economic and sociopolitical context.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;http://blogs.economictimes.indiatimes.com/et-commentary/direct-action-from-the-budget-mandates-must-reflect-ground-realities/&quot; title=&quot;http://blogs.economictimes.indiatimes.com/et-commentary/direct-action-from-the-budget-mandates-must-reflect-ground-realities/&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

Considering that India is home to 17% of the world&amp;rsquo;s human population, 15% of livestock and only 4% of the world&amp;rsquo;s water, the focus on irrigation is important. The Budget promises an additional allocation of Rs. 20,000 crore to the long-term irrigation fund set up by the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (Nabard), and also introduces amicro irrigation fund with an initial corpus of Rs. 5,000 crore. This will especially help the farmers in rainfed areas, whose farming is often a gamble on monsoon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To accelerate access to credit services, GoI has set a target of Rs. 10 lakh crore as credit to farmers with participation by both the Union and state governments. This, along with the end of the two-year drought, has set expectations for this year&amp;rsquo;s agricultural growth to increase to 4.1% as opposed to mere 1.2% last year.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
An increase in production alone does not always translate into higher income for farmers. It is only when production is supported by organised market structures and opportunity that an environment of growth is possible. This long overdue focus on income can equip the farmer with tools for a healthy integration in the present economic and sociopolitical context.&lt;br /&gt;

This will especially help the farmers in rainfed areas, whose farming is often a gamble on monsoon.<br /><br />To accelerate access to credit services, GoI has set a target of Rs. 10 lakh crore as credit to farmers with participation by both the Union and state governments. This, along with the end of the two-year drought, has set expectations for this year&rsquo;s agricultural growth to increase to 4.1% as opposed to mere 1.2% last year.<br /><br />An increase in production alone does not always translate into higher income for farmers.

Direct action from the Budget mandates must reflect ground realities -Purvi Mehta

-The Economic Times blog In every Union Budget presentation, agriculture is given a place of prominence. This is not surprising, given that 50% of India’s population is dependent on agriculture. Budget 2017 was no different. Both the Economic Survey and the Budget speech stressed heavily on improving agricultural infrastructure and augmenting farmer incomes. The key drivers expected to set this off are areas such as investment in irrigation infrastructure, development of mandis and market infrastructure for small landholders, better market linkages and a thrust on improving the dairy sector. The combination of these efforts, along with effective administration, shows enormous potential to move toward a paradigm where the focus on income can translate into long-term, healthy development of the farm sector. Considering that India is home to 17% of the world’s human population, 15% of livestock and only 4% of the world’s water, the focus on irrigation is important. The Budget promises an additional allocation of Rs. 20,000 crore to the long-term irrigation fund set up by the National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (Nabard), and also introduces amicro irrigation fund with an initial corpus of Rs. 5,000 crore. This will especially help the farmers in rainfed areas, whose farming is often a gamble on monsoon. To accelerate access to credit services, GoI has set a target of Rs. 10 lakh crore as credit to farmers with participation by both the Union and state governments.
