Question
How has poverty and fragmentation of land become problems of agricultural India?
Solution
Poor farmers are not able to look after their fields well due to their lack of purchasing capacity of seeds and fertilisers. Fragmentation of land results in small size land holdings. Modern agricultural methods like the use of modern machines or scientific cultivation can not be carried out on small landholdings as the agricultural output is low. Fragmentation of land holdings results in waste of time, labour and irrigation facilities.
