Abstract
Great anxiety and fear are prevalent among farmers for agriculture as this primary activity has been hindered by a couple of drought situations in many parts of our country. Previous strategies for agriculture sector improvement in India have focused mainly on increasing agricultural gain and boost up food security and did not clearly recognize the concerns of farmers' income and did not address any direct measure to promote farmer's welfare. As a consequence farmer's income continued to be very low, as evident from the prevalence of poverty among farmers. This situation may cause a critically adverse effect on the future of agriculture in the country. To address this issue Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi launched a program 'Doubling farmer's income' by 2022 by publicizing 6 points strategy.
