As a large agrarian country and one of the production powerhouses of the world, India is faced with an immediate challenge – sustainability.
Today, agriculture in India is affected by various challenges – soil health is degrading, water publications are depleting and becoming increasingly contaminated by overuse of agrochemicals, and farmer livelihoods are severely and adversely impacted by climate change resulting in diminishing returns. On the manufacturing side, gender inequality, child labor and poor working conditions continue to be some of the major challenges that the country is facing.
