Essay On FOOD PROBLEM

Introduction

India lives in villages. The main occupation of villagers is agriculture. But it is a pity that we are not self-sufficient in food. Every year hundreds of tonnes of food grains are imported from other countries. A large majority of population is undernourished. Many people do not get two meals a day. Several parts of the country are facing famine conditions.

The causes of problem

There are many causes for the shortage of food grains in our country. The Indian farmer is illiterate. He uses the old methods of agriculture. Land holdings are very small. The result is that the use of tractors and scientific methods, have become difficult. The same old ploughs and bullocks are in use in agriculture. Therefore the produce per acre in India is the lowest in the world.

Secondly, our agriculture is a gamble on rains. If there is a failure of rains all our crops dry up. If there is excessive rain the crops are damaged. Thus drought and flood play important part in Indian agriculture. The prosperity of agriculture depends upon the regular and normal rainfall. Thirdly, increase in population is the main cause of the food shortage in India. Food problem and population are inter-related. We produce more mouths to be fed than food to be given.

Measures adopted to solve this problem

All the Five Year Plans have taken measures to bring more land under cultivation. Adequate water supply is assured through tube-wells. The villages have mostly been electrified and training is being given to the cultivators to know how to increase food production.

Now he situation has changed considerably. India has supplied food grains to Soviet Union and other countries last year. Almost all the food grain imports have been stopped. It is due to the wise planning of the Government and the co-operation of the people. If the Distribution System is improved, the farmers would be assured of good price of their produce.

Multiple cropping and intensive cultivation programmes are in action. The methods of quick growing crops have been taken up. Though floods cause much havoc and every year the same story is repeated, yet India has been able to increase production of food grains with the help of new measures for cultivation.

Conclusion

A green revolution has been started and we hope to export food grains in the near future.
