ASHIT MAHATO a month ago

India has been shifting at a very

fast rate from agriculture based

country to become a country with

rapid industrialization. Though

rural areas are dependent on

agriculture but agriculture has lost

its luster in India as earlier. Now

the rapid industrialization has

lured everybody. Though our

economy as grown at a very fast

rate but not agriculture. Still in

villages farmers take help of oxes

and sow seeds to do farming.

Extreme weather conditions

because of global warming has

taken a toll on farming. Drought

hit places like vidarbha is still

facing the suicides of farmers. It

has made farmers to move to cities

in search of jobs. Though some

states provide basic facilities and

amenities to its citizens but it is not

case of all. States like Orissa,

Bihar, Mp, Jharkhand, North

eastern states has not been able to

provide basic needs to their citizens

and they move to different states

in search of better living. Womens
