Abstract

                                In times gone by, India was known as the garden of the world. But today India is in poverty. Midas starving amidst the heaps of gold, does not afford a greater paradox. Why should there be periodic visits of famine and pestilence in a country where land is fertile, sunshine in plenty, winter injury negligible and the growing season long and favourable for good agriculture? In the utilization of our natural resources lies the real foundation of national prosperity.
