The situation in India is exactly similar to what has been seen in the world picturo. Insufficient land area, low productivity and an increasing population are the contributing causes. India is no better nor worse than many other countries, although her large population makes one feel spprehensive. A review of the figures available for the last ten years on agricultural production, does show that India has maintained progress. The index numbers of agricultural production substantiate this.. India's real problem has been an abnormally alarming increase in population. From 250 millions in 1901, it has reached 440 millions in 1960-61, an increase of nearly 90 per cent. Her population has doubled itself in 60 years but agricultural production has registered an increase of only 10 to 30 per cent in different crops during the same period.
