A very good morning students.

Im going to take up the State of Agriculture on the Eve of Independence

There are firstly a few characteristics that have to seen regarding agriculture in India

The video link that i will be asking you to see has only 4 characteristics namely

• Low Production and Productivity
• High degree of Uncertainity
• Dominance of Subsistence farming
• Small and fragmented Land Holdings

The point missed in the video is Landlord Tenant Relations :During the British rule ,the owners of land were not the actual tillers of land.They were only interested in coolecting maximum land revenue(taxes) from the farmers.

I now invite you to watch the video link given below.

While you are watching the video i request you to make your own notes.

Please go through the video link given below
