Describes any four reforms brought in …

The four reforms brought in the Indian agriculture after independence through the efforts of Indian government are:
1). Institutional Reforms: To increase production in agriculture, the government has introduced some institutional measures which include collectivisation, consolidation of holding corporation and abolition of Zamindari system.
2). Comprehensive Land Development Programme: In the 1980s and 1990s, a comprehensive Land Development programme was initiated, which included both institutional and Technical reforms. Provision for Crop Insurance against drought, flood, cyclone, fire and disease, establishment of Grameen bank cooperative societies and banks for providing loan facilities to the farmers at low rates of interest wear some important steps in this direction.
3). Subsidies: The government is providing huge subsidies on the agricultural inputs. At present maximum subsidy is being given on fertilizers.
4). HYV Seeds and Agriculture Universities: In order to enhance production, the government is providing HYV seeds to the farmers. Special seminars are also being held. Many new agricultural universities have been established.
