Dr. Uday Salunkhe, Group Director of WeSchool mentions that one third of earth’s surface is today used for agriculture. “This provides employment to nearly 50% of workforce of entire mankind and 62% to Indian workforce in the agricultural sector.”

Agriculture is predicted to have started over 4500 years ago. With a history of over 11,000 years, agriculture is undoubtedly the world’s most vital and oldest occupation. http://www.udaysalunkhe.com
Dr. Uday Salunkhe, Group Director of WeSchool mentions that one third of earth’s surface is today used for agriculture. “This provides employment to nearly 50% of workforce of entire mankind and 62% to Indian workforce in the agricultural sector.” http://www.udaysalunkhewelingkar.com
Agriculture sector contributes to about 341% of National GDP, making India the 2nd largest rice producer, largest milk producer and one of the top countries to produce wheat. “Due to our green revolution programme, India has become the largest cattle and live-stock holder country in the world,” informs Prof Dr Uday Salunkhe. http://www.udaysalunkhe.net
Today, agriculture accounts to 75% of Indian rural population, contributing to 25% of GDP of the country and thus becoming a key sector of Indian economy. It further provides a food security to population and major employment opportunities to rural population, observes Uday Salunkhe. “Agricultural sector is a large domestic market for manufactured goods accounting to 13% of India’s exports,” he adds. http://www.udaysalunkhewelingkar.net
Agriculture and industry can provide the engine for a sustainable growth momentum. However, this has not yet been achieved. In order to attain an average of 7-8% annual growth, Uday Salunkhesuggests a contribution of at least 15-16 per cent growth in industry, 4-5% growth in agriculture and 8-10% growth in services. http://www.udaysalunkhe.in
