Yes. Agriculture in India is an activity of the unorganised sector. (i) Most of the workers working in agriculture are ill paid. (iii) Most of the workers working in agriculture are employed only during harvesting and sowing season.

(i) Loan provided can be used to construct a well, or to buy better quality of seeds and pesticides. (ii) Irrigation will help to have a second crop after the first one, even in the absence of monsoon. (iii) Transportation facility will facilitate taking their produce to the market to sell.

More employment in rural areas can be created by taking following steps:

1. Farmers should diversify agriculture and adopt horticulture, animal rearing, organic farming, pisciculture besides farming.
2. Government should take necessary steps to provide loans to farmers at cheaper rates and from formal sources of credit.

To increase the employment opportunities in urban areas: (i) It is necessary to invest in the basic industries so that more and more people should be employed. (ii) To improve the local and inter city transportation which will increase the number of people working in the transportation industry.

If farmers are provided with irrigation facilities, they can expand irrigated areas and dry season agriculture. They will be able to grow a second crop and this will increase the production and provide employment to more people.

If farmers were provided with irrigation and marketing facilities, it would help them get the second crop in a short period of time. This would help in the generation of employment and increase income. It will also provide employment for the people in agricultural related activities like transportation and warehousing.
