infrastructure and transport infrastructure ,Lack of resources and the absence
of adequate incentive structures ,anti-farmer Policy & Inadequate technology ,Non availability
of crop insurance hence all pending

complete neglect and apathy of Govt. on rural economy and distressed starving
rural India as issues of farmers and tribal has been matter of discussion for

take advice with concerned farmers and tribal not with so called agriculture
