Agriculture in India
has been the biggest employer with about 50% of the population being directly
or indirectly involved with it. Farmers form the backbone of Indian economy and
their progress is considered vital in sustainable economic development of the
country. The emotional bonding with the land, numerous activities and festivals
associated with seasons has been the permanent feature of Indian hinterland for
not only centuries but millennia. But with advent of globalization and Indian
markets undergoing a massive change, these connections are slowly breaking
down. With profiteering and market competitions becoming the norm of every
sector, the agriculture sector which is mired with numerous uncertainties is
bearing the brunt. This has caused numerous socio-economic problems in recent
times and if not addressed has the potential to disrupt the lives of people in
years to come.

The Uniform Civil Code in India proposes to replace the
personal laws based on the scriptures and customs of each major religious
community in the country with a common set governing every citizen. Article 44
of the constitution says that there should be a Uniform Civil Code throughout
the territory of India. The Union Law Ministry has recently asked the Law
Commission to examine in detail all issues related to Uniform Civil Code and
submit a report to the government. A Uniform Civil Code can only
emerge through an evolutionary process, which preserves India's rich legal heritage, of which all the
personal laws are equal constituents. Current institutions need to be
modernized, democratized and strengthened for this change.

Adaptation means
anticipating the adverse effects of climate change and taking appropriate
action to prevent or minimize the damage they can cause, or taking advantage of
opportunities that may arise. It is well documented that well planned, early
adaptation action saves money and lives later. Adaptation is the principal way
to deal with the impacts of a changing climate. It involves taking practical
actions to manage risks from climate impacts, protect communities and
strengthen the resilience of the economy. Adapting to climate
change is the top priority today. The irreversible damage caused through
climate change is a global concern. The government and people need to work
together to come up with a more sustainable solution for adapting to climate
change.

For expanding Banking
Services in India, RBI has chosen the Nachiket Mor Committee to explore and
make recommendations for the development of a special category of banks to
provide comprehensive financial services to small businesses, low income families
and disadvantaged groups. One such recommendation has been the creation of
Payment Banks primarily to facilitate financial inclusion. Payment Banks, the
concept of RBI’s Committee on Comprehensive Financial Services and Low Income
Households, has been an important step towards ensuring financial inclusivity
by promoting more participation of disadvantaged groups in the mainstream
financial services.

Contract
farming can be defined as agricultural production carried out according to an
agreement between a buyer and a farmer. Contract Farming has the potential of addressing
most of the urgent and critical needs of the Indian agriculture sector. It is
the only way to make small and marginal farmers competitive by enabling them to
access technology, credit and marketing. The concept of contract farming
entered the Indian agriculture in the early 2000s. To overcome the limitations on
contract farming, the Government should play the role of a facilitator and not
that of a regulator in developing and promoting a healthy system of
farmer-corporate relationship for mutual benefit. This will help in development
of agriculture sector in India. Legal protection to
contract growers as a group must be considered to protect them from ill-effects
of contracting.
