India is known as an agricultural country. The economy was an agro-based economy and nearly 75% of people worked in the field for their livelihood. Even though it is a primary source of living this sector does not contribute enough to the economy. In the particular year of 1950-1951 the contribution of the agricultural sector was around   59 %.

The reason behind the less contribution by the agricultural sector in the economy is :

• OUTDATED METHODS : The agricultural method that was used in the 1950’s is outdated[machinery and techniques] and leads to low production and requires more man power.
• DEPENDENCY : During 1950 the agriculture was excessively dependent on the rainfall . The output used to be expected according to the rainfall .
• TECHNIQUES : The Fertilizers and machinery was insufficient due to which the production per land was lower than expected and capacity of land.

After independence India needs to suffer through a lot of complications like not able to hold any “All India kisan sabha ” till 1953 .After 1953 kisan sabha fought many battles in India like fair price of land , debt relief , Reducing the burden of heavy taxation.

The most important struggle under kisan sabha was Telangana struggle .The peasant was united irrespective of their political differences and background. It forced the government to withdraw the tax around 136 crore.

The most heroic struggle was Punjab peasantry in 1959 which is against imposition of levy tax.

The country and the peasants go through a huge sacrifice for the rights and betterment of the peasants . Many sacrificed their lives too . But at the end ,

In 1990 the agricultural revolution finally started and the agrarian economy showed the growth in production and spotted improvement in techniques.
