Title: Sustainable Agriculture in India: Issues and Challenges Ahead

Abstract: In India, agriculture sector contributes about 20.02% of the country’s GDP (2020-21). Much diversity is found in Indian agriculture such as cropping, climate, irrigation pattern etc. There are many opportunities to take advantages of these diversities to meet the sustainable needs of the population. Sustainable agriculture is the way of farming according to location specific ecosystem and study of relationships between the organism and their environment. The Liberalization, Privatization and Globalization (LPG) model adopted in 1991 has adversely affected the agriculture in India. The viability of the agriculture should be enhanced which could significantly improve the growth prospects of the economy. The agricultural production in India is also adversely affected by the climate change due to global warming. India has attained self-reliance in food grains production but the future demand for food grain and raw material will not be satisfied from the current agriculture production. Increased demand and low production will create the burden on the agricultural production and will give rise to food inflation in India. The agricultural productivity and the income of the small and marginal farmers have declined. These problems can be overcome with the help of sustainable agricultural development.

Title: Empowering Women: Legal Safeguards and Policy Frameworks

Abstract: India's distinctive national identity is profoundly shaped by the esteemed position accorded to women throughout its history. Since the Vedic era, Indian society has cultivated a legacy of female empowerment, exemplified by learned scholars like Gargi and Anusuya. This tradition persisted through subsequent epochs, with luminaries such as Ahilyabai Holkar, Rani Lakshmibai, Sucheta Kripalani, Vijayalakshmi Pandit, and Indira Gandhi emerging as iconic figures who have significantly contributed to the nation's progress. Historical evidence consistently demonstrates that women have possessed intellectual capacity, energy, and efficiency on par with men. Nevertheless, their contributions to society have been disproportionately low relative to their population percentage. A primary factor contributing to this disparity is the imposition of various restrictions on women since the post-Vedic era. Pernicious societal practices such as dowry, female infanticide, child marriage, illiteracy, and gender inequality have significantly impeded women's progress and potential, resulting in their marginalization and subjugation to men. Prior to independence, the subordinate status of women was a recognized concern. Numerous initiatives and policies were conceived to elevate women's position within society, yet their implementation fell short of intended objectives. Post-independence India has enacted a series of legislative measures, anchored in the Constitution, aimed at elevating the status of women. While these legal frameworks have undeniably contributed to progress, the challenges persisting in women's empowerment necessitated the implementation of comprehensive government schemes. These initiatives have been instrumental in advancing women's status both within domestic and societal spheres. The consequent economic and social empowerment of women is indicative of India's trajectory towards a progressive and developed future. This paper is an attempt to examine the efficacy of government schemes, policies, and programs designed to foster women's empowerment.
