Village life and tractor farming in Assam: archival

From the archive record

In northeast India, there is still limited support available for farmers and growers following local farming methods, or for those interested in incorporating organic agriculture practices such as composting, mulching, and natural pest control. While most other states in India are gradually moving away from their traditional agriculture-based economy toward industry or service-oriented economy, Assam is still heavily dependent on the agricultural sector. Compared to most other states in India, Assam is considered a less developed state, which depicts a gloomy picture the economic condition of the state given that India is considered a less developed country.
