3. illiteracy and ignorance,
4. outdated implements,
5. inadequate irrigation facilities,
6. soil erosion,
7. poor quality of seeds, and
8. lack of scientific approach.

Answer 2

On India, agriculture is primarily subsistence, with farmers relying on manual labour to produce only enough food for their families, with little surplus sold on the market. Over the past 4000 or 5000 years, a significant portion of Indian soil has been depleted due to ploughing.
